Let the distance travelled in the fist 5 seconds be x metres

We know u=0

When t=5, s=x

When t=10 s=x+150

I am going to use the formula     s=ut+12×at2

since u=0,  the formula becomes  s=12×at2

Now we have 2 equations that can be solved simultaneously.

x=12a×52 x=12a×25(1)andx+150=12a×102x+150=12a×100x+150=12a×25×4x+1504=12a×25(2)$puttingthesetogetherIgetx=x+15044x=x+1503x=150x=50

 

So the ball rolls 50m in the first 5 seconds

Is the s after the 5.0 seconds?
