A girl running a race accelerates at $2.5\, m s ^{-2}$ for the first $4\, s$ of the race. How far does she travel in this time ?
Given $u=0, a=2.5 m s ^{-2}, t=4 s$ and $S =?$
Substituting the values in equation
$S=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2},$ we have
$S=0 \times 4+\frac{1}{2} \times 2.5 \times 4^{2}=20 m$
