A train moving with a speed of 162 kmhr gradually
increases its speed to 540 kmhr in 10 seconds.
Calculate;
(i)
the acceleration of the train
(ii)
(iii)
the final velocity of the train after the acceleration
the total distance covered by the train during this
acceleration

Respuesta :

The acceleration of the train at the give initial and final velocity is determined as 10.5 m/s².

Acceleration of the train

The acceleration of the train is calculated as follows;

a = Δv/t

where;

  • u is initial velocity = 162 km/hr = 45 m/s
  • v is final velocity of the car = 540 km/hr = 150 m/s

a = (150 - 45)/10

a = 10.5 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the train at the give initial and final velocity is determined as 10.5 m/s².
