A train starting from rest attains a velocity of 36 km/h with 5minutes. Caluculate the distance to attain the velocity |

Answer» Given:- Initial Velocity (u) = 0m/s Final Velocity (v) = 36km/h = 10m/s Time Taken = 5min = 300s. To FIND:- The Distance train travelled to attain the final Velocity. Formulae used:-
Where, v = Final Velocity u = Initial Velocity a = Acceleration s = Distance t = Time. Now, Using first equation of motion to find accceleration. v = u + at or, a = v - u/t a = 10 - 0 / 300 a = 10/300 a = 0.03m/s² Hence, The Acceleration is 0.03m/s². Therefore, using Third equation of motion to find Distance travelled. v² - u² = 2as (10)² - (0)² = 2 × 0.03 × s 100 = 0.06 × s S = 100/0.06 S = 1.666km. Hence, The distance travelled by train is 1.6km to attain the Velocity. |
