Answer
5 km
Reason —
As we know,
v = u + at
Given,
u = 0
v = 20 km h-1
t = 30 min = h
Substituting the values in the formula above, we get,
Now,
S = ut + at2
Substituting the values in the formula above we get,
Hence, distance = 5 km

A particle starts to move in a straight line from a point with a velocity 10 ms-1 and acceleration -2.0 ms-2. Its position at t = 5 s will be :
- 5 m
- 10 m
- 20 m
- 25 m
A body initially at rest, starts moving with a constant acceleration of 0.5 ms-2 and travels a distance 25 m, then its final velocity is:
- 5 ms-1
- 20 ms-1
- 15 ms-1
- -15 ms-1
A car starting from rest moves on a straight path for time t = 0 to t = T with a uniform acceleration a and then stops with a uniform retardation. The average speed of the car will be :

Assertion (A) : The displacement of a body can be zero even if the distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason (R) : Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of body.
- both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
- assertion is false but reason is true
