Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step.

  1. Identify the given information:

    • The body starts from rest, so the initial velocity u=0 u = 0 .
    • The body covers a particular displacement s s .
    • The acceleration is uniform, denoted as a a .
  2. Use the kinematic equation: The equation that relates displacement s s , initial velocity u u , acceleration a a , and time t t is: s=ut+12at2 s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

  3. Substitute the known values: Since u=0 u = 0 , the equation simplifies to: s=12at2 s = \frac{1}{2}at^2

  4. Solve for time t t : Rearrange the equation to solve for t t : s=12at2    2s=at2    t2=2sa    t=2sa s = \frac{1}{2}at^2 \implies 2s = at^2 \implies t^2 = \frac{2s}{a} \implies t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}

  5. Conclusion: The time t t in which the body covers the displacement s s with uniform acceleration a a is: t=2sa t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}
