Explanation:
Let the length of the train be = L
We apply the equation of motion
2u² = u² + 2aL
2aL = 2u² - u²
The acceleration is a = 2u² - u²/ 2aL
For, half the train, the length is = L/2
and the velocity is = v
Therefore,
v² = u² + 2a . L/2
= u² + 2al
= u² + 2u² - u²/2L×L
= 2u² + 2u² - u²/ 2
= u² + 2u²/ 2 = 3u²/ 2
So, v = √3u²/ 2.
