In the equation of motion, S stands for

In the equation of motion, \( \boldsymbol{S}=\boldsymbol{u} \boldsymbol{t}+ \) \( 1 / 2 a t^{2}, \) S stands for

  • A. displacement in t seconds
  • B. maximum height reached
  • C. displacement in the \( t^{t h} \) second
  • D. none of these

Step-by-step solution

The equation S = ut + (1/2)at^2 is a standard kinematic equation for uniformly accelerated motion, where S represents the displacement of an object after time t starting with initial velocity u and constant acceleration a. It does not represent maximum height or displacement in the t-th second.
