3. Between two stations a train accelerates uniformiy at first, then moves with constant speei and finalyretards uniformly to come to rest. If the catics of time taken are 1 8 1 and the greatest speedis 60 km/hour. Then the average speed over the whole journey(1) 45 km/hr(2) 54 km/hr(3) 35 kmlhr(4) 53 km/hr

Answer»

Let it accelerates with say ‘a’ in time ‘x’ then it reaches a velocity ‘v’ and continues motion for time ‘8x’ abd finally then retards with ‘b’ in time ‘x’.

v = 0 + ax

=> v = ax

=> 60 = ax

=> a = 60/x

And,

0 = v – bx

=> b = 60/x

Distance covered in time of acceleration,

S1= 0 + ½ at2

=> S1= ½ ax2= ½ × 60/x × x2= 30x

Distance covered while moving with constant velocity is,

S2= vt = 60 × 8x = 480x

Distance covered in time of retardation,

02= v2- 2bS3

=> S3= 602/(2 × 60/x)

=> S3= 30x

So, total distance = 30x + 480x + 30x = 540x

Total time = x + 8x + x = 10x

average velocity = 540x/10x = 54 km/h

very complicated method
