An express train moving at 30m/s reduces its speed to 10 m/s in a distance of 240 m.If the breaking force is increased by 12.5% in the beginning find the distance that it travels before coming to rest

The equation of motion to use is :

V² = U² + 2as

V = 10m/s U = 30m / s S= 240m

Doing the substitution we have :

100 = 900 + 480a

- 800 = 480a

a = - 5/3 m/s²


Basic definition of force

F = ma

Thus a = F/m = -5/3 m/s²

a is directly proportional to F.

An increase in F by x increases the acceleration by x also.

Since our breaking force is increased 12.5% then the new acceleration is:

a (new) = (1 + 0.125) × -5/3 m/s² = -15/8 m/s²

Using the same original equation of motion and solve for S

S = (V² - U²) / (2a)

Substituting:

this time V = 0 m/s (the train comes to rest)

S = ((0) - (900) / (2 × -15/8 m/s²) = - 900 ÷ - 15/8

900 × 8 / 15 = 240 m
