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
