Question

A train is moving with a velocity of 10m/s. It attains an acceleration of 4m/s after 5 seconds. Find the distance covered by the train at that time.​

Answer 1

Given :-

• A train is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s.
• It attains an acceleration of 4 m/s² after 5 seconds.

To Find :-

• What is the distance covered by the train at that time.

Formula Used :-

$\clubsuit$Second Equation Of Motion Formula :

$\begin{gathered}\mapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{s =\: ut + \dfrac{1}{2} at^2}}}\\\end{gathered}$

where,

• u = Initial Velocity
• a = Acceleration
• t = Time
• s = Distance Covered

Solution :-

Given :

• Initial Velocity (u) = 10 m/s
• Time (t) = 5 seconds
• Acceleration (a) = 4 m/s²

According to the question by using the formula we get,

$\longrightarrow \sf s =\: (10)(5) + \dfrac{1}{2} \times (4)(5)^2$

$\longrightarrow \sf s =\: 10 \times 5 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 5 \times 5$

$\longrightarrow \sf s =\: 50 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 5$

$\longrightarrow \sf s =\: 50 + \dfrac{1}{\cancel{2}} \times {\cancel{100}}$

$\longrightarrow \sf s =\: 50 + 50$

$\longrightarrow \sf\bold{\red{s =\: 100\: m}}$

∴ The distance covered by the train is 100 m .

EXTRA INFORMATION :-

$\clubsuit$First Equation Of Motion Formula :

$\mapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{v =\: u + at}}}$

$\clubsuit$Third Equation Of Motion Formula :

$\mapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{v^2 =\: u^2 + 2as}}}$

where,

• s = Distance Covered (m)
• u = Initial Velocity (m/s)
• v = Final Velocity (m/s)
• a = Acceleration (m/s²)
• t = Time (s)
