Train moveing with velocity of 54kmh-1 is accelerated so that its velocity becomes 72kh-1 in 15sec find the acceleration and distance coverd by train.
Answers
✮ Initial velocity = 54km/h
✮ Final velocity = 72km/h
✮ Time of journey = 15s
✻ We have to find acceleration and distance covered by train in the given interval of time.
➠ Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of change of velocity.
Mathematically,
❅ Conversion :
⟶ 54km/h = 54 × 5/18 = 15m/s
⟶ 72km/h = 72 × 5/18 = 20m/s
☃ Acceleration of train :
☃ Distance covered by train :
★ QUESTION :
Train moveing with velocity of 54kmh-1 is accelerated so that its velocity becomes 72kh-1 in 15sec find the acceleration and distance coverd by train.
GIVEN :
- Initial velocity of the trian = 54 km/h
- Final velocity of the train = 72 km /h
- Time taken to complete the distance = 15s
TO FIND :
- The acceleration and distance covered by the train = ?
STEP -BY- STEP EXPLAINATION :
As we, know that :
⟹ acceleration = v - u / time
➠ 54 km/h = 54 × 5/18 = 15m/s
➠ 72 km/h = 72 × 5/18 = 20m/s
➠ Applying here the formula of acceleration, to find acceleration :
⟹ a = v - u / t
after substituting here the value, as per the given formula that has to be put / apply.
⟹ a = 20 - 15 / 15
⟹ a = 5 / 15
after reducing it, we will get here the acceleration as :
⟹ a = 0.33 ms^-2
Therefore, the acceleration of the the train = 0.33 ms^-2
➠ Applying here the formula of finding the distance covered by the train, to find distance covered :
⟹ v² - u² = 2as
After substituting the values, for as per the given formulas :
⟹ (20)² - (15)² = 2.(0.33) s
Here, we will right after removing the signs of square (²) as :
⟹ 400 - 225 = 0.66s
⟹ 175 = 0.66s
⟹ s = 265. 15 m
Hence, the distance covered by the train = 265.15 m
