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.
