and does the n value keep changing

where they say you find the distance in 8th second or any other number if they see find the distance in 8 seconds, so thats like from 0-8 seconds so you can use the normal s= ut + 1/2gt^2 and put t as 8 but if they say in a particular second then you should use the nth term formula

ohh also for integration

yes

so the (2n-1) stays the same all the time right
trin

it has come from deriving right, do yk the derivation

im not sure

the formula remains same, only the value of n you've to put

what does n represent here

so if you have difficulties in using this formula, when they talk about a particular second like lets say find the distance in 8th second, its the motion between 8th and 9th second so find the distance in 9th second and then find the distance in 8th second and subtract them, you'll get the same answer but thats lengthy so we use this formula time

wait mb, 7th and 8th second

i understand thanks a lot also in integration in the rhs is is it ALWAYS DT

Distance travelled in nth second Vs. Displacement in nth second (Cl...
The equation of motion that helps us find the displacement in the nth second of motion of a particle moving in a straight line is Sn = Vi + (2n-1) (a/2). However, students often make the mistake of incorrectly applying the formula to calculate distance travelled in the nth second. To avoid this confusion, it is essential to comprehend the fundam...
