Obtain a relation for the distance travelled by an object moving with a uniform acceleration in the interval between 4th and 5th seconds.
from the equation of motion
s= ut + at2 Distance travelled in 5s,
s = u x 5+ x a x (5)2
s =5u + 25/2 a …….(i)
Similarly, distance travelled in 4s,
s’ =4u +16/2 a
s’ =4u+8a…….(ii)
Distance travelled in the interval between 4th and 5th second=(s-s’)
= (5u +25/2 – 4u +8)
= (u+ a) m
