Question

The distance travelled by a particle starting from rest and moving with an acceleration \( \frac{4}{3} \) ms\(^{-2} \), in the third second is:

• A. \( 6 \) m
• B. \( 4 \) m
• C. \( \frac{10}{3} \) m
• D. \( \frac{19}{3} \) m

Hint:

The displacement in the \( n \)th second formula: \[ s_n = u + \frac{a}{2} (2n - 1) \] is useful for determining the exact distance covered in a given second without calculating total displacement.
