C 3x
In the first second:
s = ut + ( 1 / 2 ) * a * t^2 ------------------------- (1)
because "A ball is released from rest at time t=0 ", so, u = 0
(1) becomes: s = ( 1 / 2 ) * a * t^2 --------------- (2)
given that displacement of the ball in the first second = x,
it means s = x = ( 1 / 2 ) * a * t^2 ---------------- (3)
In the second second:
using (1) again,
but now, u is not equal to zero, u = at
from (3), x = ( 1 / 2 ) * a * t^2
so, a * t^2 = 2x,
so, ut = at * t = a*t^2 = 2x ---------------------- (4)
substitude (4) and (3) into (1),
we have, s = 2x + x = 3x
