The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the velocity of a particle after `t` seconds, given that the sum of the distances traveled in the `t-th` and `(t + 1)-th` seconds is `100 cm`. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Distance Formula**: The distance traveled by a particle in the `t-th` second is given by the formula: \[ s_t = u + \frac{a}{2}(2t - 1) \] where \( u \) is the initial velocity, \( a \) is the uniform acceleration, and \( t \) is the time in seconds. 2. **Distance in the (t + 1)-th Second**: For the `(t + 1)-th` second, the distance traveled is: \[ s_{t+1} = u + \frac{a}{2}(2(t + 1) - 1) = u + \frac{a}{2}(2t + 2 - 1) = u + \frac{a}{2}(2t + 1) \] 3. **Setting Up the Equation**: According to the problem, the sum of the distances traveled in the `t-th` and `(t + 1)-th` seconds is `100 cm`: \[ s_t + s_{t+1} = 100 \] Substituting the expressions for \( s_t \) and \( s_{t+1} \): \[ \left( u + \frac{a}{2}(2t - 1) \right) + \left( u + \frac{a}{2}(2t + 1) \right) = 100 \] 4. **Simplifying the Equation**: Combine the terms: \[ 2u + \frac{a}{2}(2t - 1 + 2t + 1) = 100 \] Simplifying further: \[ 2u + \frac{a}{2}(4t) = 100 \] \[ 2u + 2at = 100 \] 5. **Dividing by 2**: Divide the entire equation by 2: \[ u + at = 50 \] 6. **Finding the Final Velocity**: The final velocity \( v \) after `t` seconds can be expressed using the equation of motion: \[ v = u + at \] From our previous step, we have: \[ v = 50 \] ### Conclusion: The velocity of the particle after `t` seconds is: \[ \boxed{50 \text{ cm/s}} \]
