Problem
A particle starts with an initial velocity u and moves with uniform acceleration a for a time t.
(i) Derive an expression for the displacement s of the particle after time t.
(ii) A cyclist starts from rest and attains a speed of 8 m/s in 4 s while moving along a straight road with uniform acceleration. Using the expression obtained in part (i), calculate the distance covered in this time.
