Question
Derive the formula: $\text{s}=\text{ut}+\frac{1}{2}\text{at}^2,$ where the symbols have usual meanings.

Answer

Suppose a body has an initial velocity '$u'$ and a uniform acceleration'$ a'$ for time '$t'$ so that its final velocity becomes '$v'$. Let the distance travelled by the body in this time be '$s'$. The distance travelled by a moving body in time '$t'$ can be found out by considering its average velocity. Since the initial velocity of the body is '$u'$ and its final velocity is '$v'$, the average velocity is given by.

The substance $X$ normally exists in a physical state which can flow easily but does not fill its vessel completely. It also turns anhydrous copper sulphate blue. When substance $X$ is cooled excessively, it changes into a substance $Y$ which has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. If, however, the substance $X$ is heated strongly, it changes into a substance $Z$ which has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
