Solution

The motion of a particle is described by the equation u = at, where 'u' is the velocity, 'a' is the acceleration, and 't' is the time.

The distance travelled by the particle is given by the equation s = ut + 0.5at^2.

Since the initial velocity (u0) is 0 (as the particle starts from rest), the equation simplifies to s = 0.5at^2.

Substituting the given values into the equation:

s = 0.5 * a * (4s)^2 s = 0.5 * a * 16s^2 s = 8as

So, the distance travelled by the particle in the first 4 seconds is 8a.
