MCQ
A body starts from rest with uniform acceleration. If its velocity after $n$ second is $\upsilon ,$ then its displacement in the last two seconds is
  • A
    $\frac{{2\upsilon \left( {n + 1} \right)}}{n}$
  • B
    $\frac{{\upsilon \left( {n + 1} \right)}}{n}$
  • C
    $\frac{{\upsilon \left( {n - 1} \right)}}{n}$
  • $\frac{{2\upsilon \left( {n - 1} \right)}}{n}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{{2\upsilon \left( {n - 1} \right)}}{n}$
d
(d) Now, distance travelled in $n$ sec. ==> ${S_n} = \frac{1}{2}a{n^2}$and distance travelled in $(n - 2)\sec $==>${S_{n - 2}} = \frac{1}{2}a{(n - 2)^2}$

$\therefore$ Distance travelled in last two seconds,

$ = {S_n} - {S_{n - 2}}$$ = \frac{1}{2}a{n^2} - \frac{1}{2}a{(n - 2)^2}$

$ = \frac{a}{2}\left[ {{n^2} - {{(n - 2)}^2}} \right]$$ = \frac{a}{2}[n + (n - 2)][n - (n - 2)]$

=$a(2n - 2)$ $ = \frac{v}{n}(2n - 2)$$ = \frac{{2v(n - 1)}}{n}$
