Question

A particle starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 4 m/s\(^2\). What is the distance covered in the 5th second?

• A. 36 m
• B. 18 m
• C. 44 m
• D. 20 m

Hint:

Formula: For uniformly accelerated motion, use \( s_n = u + \frac{a}{2}(2n - 1) \) to find distance in the \(n^{\text{th}}\) second.
