A body travels 102.5 m in nth second and 115.0 m in (n + 2)th second. The acceleration is :

  1. 9 m/s2
  2. 6.25 m/s2
  3. 12.5 m/s2
  4. m/s2

Concept:

Equation of motion: These are mathematical formula that describes the position, velocity, or acceleration of a body relative to a given frame of reference.

There are three equations of motion

  1. v = u + at
  2. v= u2+2as
  3. s = ut + 1/2 at2

where V is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, S is displacement, a is acceleration and t is the time taken.

Calculation:

Using: v = u + at

We get, 

  

                (1)

  

                   (2)

From (1) and (2)

12.5 = 2a ⇒ a = 6.25 m/s2

∴ The correct option is (2)
