To find the velocity and distance covered by a particle with an acceleration of 1.5 m/s² after 10 seconds, we can use the equations of motion.

  1. Velocity (v) can be calculated using the equation: v = u + at

    where: v = final velocity u = initial velocity (in this case, the particle starts from rest, so u = 0) a = acceleration t = time

    Plugging in the values: v = 0 + (1.5 m/s²) × (10 s) v = 0 + 15 m/s v = 15 m/s

    Therefore, the velocity of the particle after 10 seconds is 15 m/s.

  2. Distance covered (s) can be calculated using the equation: s = ut + (1/2)at²

    Plugging in the values: s = (0 m/s) × (10 s) + (1/2) × (1.5 m/s²) × (10 s)² s = 0 + 0.5 × 1.5 m/s² × 100 s² s = 0.5 × 1.5 × 100 m s = 75 m

    Therefore, the particle covers a distance of 75 meters in 10 seconds.
