starting from the rest train moves with uniform acceleration of 1.5 metre per second square for 3 minutes calculate the total distance covered by the train
Answers
u=0
3minutes=180seconds
a=1.5m/s²
s=ut+1/2at²
s=0×180+1/2×1.5×180×180
s=24300meters
Given : starting from the rest train moves with uniform acceleration of 1.5 meter per second square for 3 minutes
To find : the total distance covered by the train
Step-by-step explanation:
starting from the rest
=>initial velocity u = 0 m/s
moves with uniform acceleration of 1.5 m/s²
=> a = 1.5 m/s²
time = 3 mins = 180 sec
using formula S = ut + (1/2)at²
=> S = 0 + (1/2)(1.5)(180)²
=> S = 24300 m
24300 m = 24.3 km
=> Distance covered by train = 24.3 km
Another method
final velocity v = u + at = 0 + 1.5*180 = 270 m/s
Either Distance = (1/2) (u +v) *t = (1/2)(0 + 270) * 180 = 24300
or V² - U² = 2aS => 270² = 2(1.5)S => S = 24300
the total distance covered by the train = 24.3 km
