Acceleration of train when it is moving steadily from 4m/s to 20m/s in 100s is
Answers
Explanation:
We are all familiar with the fact that a car speeds up when we put our foot down on the accelerator. The rate of change of the velocity of a particle with respect to time is called its acceleration. If the velocity of the particle changes at a constant rate, then this rate is called the constant acceleration.
Since we are using metres and seconds as our basic units, we will measure acceleration in metres per second per second. This will be abbreviated as m/s22. It is also commonly abbreviated as ms−2−2.
For example, if the velocity of a particle moving in a straight line changes uniformly (at a constant rate of change) from 2 m/s to 5 m/s over one second, then its constant acceleration is 3 m/s22.
Answer:
0.16 metres per second square
Explanation:
Here,
Initial velocity (u)= 4 m/s
Final velocity (v)= 20 m/s
Time (t)= 100 seconds
Therefore,
Acceleration (a)= v-u/t
= 20-4/100
= 16/100
= 0.16 m/s2
