Which of the following is a correct equation of motion?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 2s = 2ut + at2.
- 2s = 2ut + at2 is the correct equation of motion.
- Second Equation of Motion is s = ut + 1/2 at2 = 2s = 2ut + at2
- There are three equations for the motion of those bodies which travel with uniform accelaration.
- The First equation of motion - v = u + at
- It gives the velocity acquired by a body in time t.
- The Second equation of motion - s = ut + 1/2 at2.
- The Third equation of motion - v2 = u2 + 2as.
- It gives the velocity acquired by a body in traveling distance s.
