Draw a velocity versus time graph for a body which starts to move with velocity $'u^{\prime}$ under a constant acceleration $'a'$ for time $t$. Using this graph derive an expression for distance covered $'S'$ in time $'t^{\prime}$
Draw a velocity versus time graph for a body which starts to move with velocity $'u^{\prime}$ under a constant acceleration $'a'$ for time $t$. Using this graph derive an expression for distance covered $'S'$ in time $'t^{\prime}$
The graph is as shown
The area under the graph is the area of the rectangle $OACD$ plus the area of the triangle ABC on top of it as shown in figure. The rectangle has a height $u$ and a length $t$. This area is the distance travelled by the object.
Hence, $S=u t+\frac{1}{2} \times t \times(v-u)$ $....(1)$
But from the expression $v=u+a t,$ we have
at $=v-u$. Substituting in equation $(1),$ we have
$S=u t+\frac{1}{2}(a t) t=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$
