Answer

According to equation of motion —

S = ut + 12\dfrac{1}{2} at2

Where,

distance covered = S

initial velocity u = 0

acceleration a = 2 m s-2

time t = 2 s

Substituting the values in the formula for u = 0 , we get,

S=(0×2)+12×2×22S=(0)+(12×2×4)S=(0)+(4)S=4mS = (0 \times 2) + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 2^2 \\[0.5em] S = (0) + (\dfrac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 4) \\[0.5em] S = (0) + (4) \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow S = 4 m \\[0.5em]

Hence, distance covered = 4 m
