To find the distance covered by a body in the nth second when it is moving with an initial velocity \( u \) and uniform acceleration \( a \), we can use the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand the motion equations The equations of motion for a body under uniform acceleration are: 1. \( s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \) - Where \( s \) is the distance covered, \( u \) is the initial velocity, \( a \) is the acceleration, and \( t \) is the time. ### Step 2: Calculate the distance covered in n seconds ...
