Question
A particle experiences a constant acceleration for $20\, seconds$ after starting from rest. If it travels a distance $s_1$ in the first $10\, seconds$ and distance $s_2$ in the next $10\, seconds$, then :-

Answer

As acceleration is constant for 20 sec after starting from rest so

$\mathrm{S} 1=\mathrm{ut}+1 / 2 \times \mathrm{at}^{\wedge} 2$

$\mathrm{S} 1=0 \times 10+1 / 2 \times \mathrm{a} \times 100$

$\mathrm{So}, \mathrm{S} 1=50 \mathrm{a}$

Now, $\mathrm{S} 1+\mathrm{S} 2=0 \times 20+1 / 2 \times \mathrm{a} \times 20^{\wedge} 2$

$\mathrm{S} 1+\mathrm{S} 2=200 \mathrm{a}$

As, $\mathrm{S} 1=50 \mathrm{a}$

$50 a+52=200 a$

$\mathrm{S} 2=150 \mathrm{a}$

Hence $\mathrm{S} 1 / \mathrm{S} 2=50 \mathrm{a} / 150 \mathrm{a}$

$\mathrm{S} 2=3 \mathrm{S} 1$

$Assertion$ : A body can have acceleration even if its velocity is zero at a given instant of time.

$Reason$ : A body is numerically at rest when it reverses its direction.

The velocity $v$ of a particle as a function of its position $(x)$ is expressed as $v=\sqrt{c_1-c_2 x}$, where $c_1$ and $c_2$ are positive constants. The acceleration of the particle is
