Correct answer: 175

  1. Assume uniform acceleration

Since the question gives displacement in one-second intervals and increase in velocity over one second, we take the motion to be with constant acceleration.

Let acceleration be aaa and velocity at time ttt be vtv_tvt​.

Given that the increase in velocity from ttt to (t+1)(t+1)(t+1) s is 50 m/s50\,\text{m/s}50m/s.

Over 111 second, a=50 m/s2a = 50\,\text{m/s}^2a=50m/s2


  1. Use displacement from ttt to (t+1)(t+1)(t+1) s

Displacement in this 1-second interval is: s=vt(1)+12a(1)2s = v_t(1) + \frac{1}{2}a(1)^2s=vt​(1)+21​a(1)2

Given s=125s = 125s=125 m and a=50a=50a=50: 125=vt+12(50)125 = v_t + \frac{1}{2}(50)125=vt​+21​(50) 125=vt+25125 = v_t + 25125=vt​+25 vt=100 m/sv_t = 100\,\text{m/s}vt​=100m/s


  1. Find velocity at time (t+2)(t+2)(t+2)

Velocity increases by 50 m/s50\,\text{m/s}50m/s every second.

So, vt+1=100+50=150 m/sv_{t+1} = 100 + 50 = 150\,\text{m/s}vt+1​=100+50=150m/s vt+2=150+50=200 m/sv_{t+2} = 150 + 50 = 200\,\text{m/s}vt+2​=150+50=200m/s


  1. Find distance travelled in the (t+2)th(t+2)^{\text{th}}(t+2)th second

The (t+2)th(t+2)^{\text{th}}(t+2)th second means the interval from (t+1)(t+1)(t+1) to (t+2)(t+2)(t+2).

Distance in this 1-second interval: s(t+2)th=vt+1(1)+12a(1)2s_{(t+2)^{\text{th}}} = v_{t+1}(1) + \frac{1}{2}a(1)^2s(t+2)th​=vt+1​(1)+21​a(1)2 =150+25= 150 + 25=150+25 =175 m= 175\,\text{m}=175m


  1. Final answer

175\boxed{175}175​
