The train leaving the station at an acceleration of 0.2 m / s2 reached a speed of 20 m / s. How far had the train come by then? |
Answer» Given :• Acceleration of the train = 0.2 m/s² • INITIAL velocity of the train = 0 m/s • Final velocity of the train = 20 m/s To find :• Distance travelled by the train Solution :Here we SHALL use the third equation of motion to find the distance travelled by the train. Third equation of motion :-
where, • v denotes the final velocity • u denotes the initial velocity • a denotes the acceleration • s denotes the distance/displacement we have, • v = 20 m/s • u = 0 m/s • a = 0.2 m/s² Substituting the given values :- → (20)² - (0)² = 2(0.2)(s) → 400 = 2 × 2/10 × s → 400 = 4/10 × s → 400 × 10/4 = s → 100 × 10 = s → 1000 = s → The value of s = 1000 Therefore, the distance travelled = 1000 m |
