A body accelerates uniformly from rest at the rate of 3 m/s\(^2\) for 8 seconds. Calculate the distance covered by the body during the acceleration?
A
12m
B
24m
C
48m
D
72m
E
96m
Verified Correct Answer: E.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
S = Ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\) at\(^2\)
but U = 0; from rest
S = \(\frac{1}{2}\) at\(^2\)
S = \(\frac{3 \times 8^2}{2}\)
S = 96m
