To find the distance covered by the body in 2 seconds, we can use the equations of motion. The equation that relates distance (d), initial velocity (u), acceleration (a), and time (t) is:
d = ut + (1/2)at^2
Given that the body starts from rest (u = 0) and has an acceleration of 2 m/seconds^2 (a = 2 m/seconds^2), we can substitute these values into the equation:
d = 0 * 2 + (1/2) * 2 * (2)^2
Simplifying the equation:
d = 0 + (1/2) * 2 * 4 = 0 + 1 * 4 = 4 meters
Therefore, the body covers a distance of 4 meters in 2 seconds.
