-1 in 10 minutes assuming that the acceleration is uniform find the acceleration and the distance travelled by the train for attending the velocity​

Respuesta :

To make this problem solvable and you can get the help you need, I'll complete and arrange some data.

Answer:

Acceleration: [tex]0.0417\ m/s^2[/tex], Distance=7,500 m

Explanation:

Uniform Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly over time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

[tex]v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1][/tex]

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2][/tex]

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}\qquad\qquad [3][/tex]

The problem will be rewritten as follows:

A train starting from rest reaches a velocity of 90 km/h in 10 minutes. Assuming that the acceleration is uniform, find the acceleration and the distance traveled by the train for attending the velocity​.

Let's take the relevant data:

vo=0

vf=90 Km/h*1000/3600 = 25 m/s

t = 10 minutes = 10*60 = 600  seconds

Now compute the acceleration by using [3]:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{25-0}{600}=0.0417[/tex]

[tex]a=0.0417\ m/s^2[/tex]

Finally, compute the distance:

[tex]\displaystyle x=0*600+\frac{0.0417\cdot 600^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=7,500\ m[/tex]

Note: We used the value of the acceleration with more precision than shown.

Acceleration: [tex]\mathbf{0.0417\ m/s^2}[/tex], Distance=7,500 m
