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:-

  • v = u + at

  • v² - u² = 2as.

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/.

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.
