The distance travelled by a particle starting from rest and moving with an acceleration 4/3 ms⁻², in the third second is

A

6 m

B

4 m

C

10/3 m

D

19/3 m

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Identify Given Values: Initial velocity (uu) = 0 (starts from rest). Acceleration (aa) = 4/3 ms24/3 \text{ ms}^{-2}.
  • Time interval (nn) = 3rd second.
  1. Select Formula: The distance travelled in the nn-th second (SnS_n) for uniformly accelerated motion is given by: Sn=u+a2(2n1)S_n = u + \frac{a}{2}(2n - 1)
  2. Calculation: Substitute the values into the formula: S3rd=0+4/32(2×31)S_{3rd} = 0 + \frac{4/3}{2} (2 \times 3 - 1) S3rd=23(61)S_{3rd} = \frac{2}{3} (6 - 1) S3rd=23×5=103 mS_{3rd} = \frac{2}{3} \times 5 = \frac{10}{3} \text{ m}
