Train starts from rest and accelerate uniformly at the rate of 5 m/s2 for 5 sec. calculate i. the velocity of train in 5 sec. ii. the distance covered by the train in this time.
Answers
Given :
▪ Initial velocity of train = zero
▪ Acceleration of train = 5m/s²
▪ Time interval = 5s
To Find :
▪ Final velocity and distance travelled by train after the given intetval of time.
Concept :
✴ Since, acceleration of train has said to be constant throughout the motion, we can easily apply equation of kinematics to solve this question.
✴ First eqauation of kinematics :
✴ Third equation of kinematics :
Calculation :
❄ Final velocity of train :
❄ Distance covered by train :
Train starts from rest and accelerate uniformly at the rate of 5 m/s 2 for 5sec.
1) Calculate velocity of train in 5sec
2)The distance covered by the train in this time
Given,
Initial velocity of a train(u) = Zero
Acceleration of train(a) = 5m/s^2
Time (t)= 5s
We know that,
First kinematic equation = V=u+at
V= ?
U= 0
a=5
t=5
V = 0+(5×5)
V=5×5
V=25mps
so,
Final velocity of a train is 25 mps.
---------------------------------------------------
Third kinematic equation :
S =62.5m
So, The distance covered by train = 62.5m.
