A train started from rest and moved with constant acceleration. At one time, it was travelling30 m/s, and 160 mfarther on it was travelling 50 m/s. Calculate (a) the acceleration (b) the time required to travel 160 mmentioned (c) the time required to attain speed of 30 m/s(d) the distance moved from rest to the time the train had a speed of 30 m/s(e) Graph x vs t and v vs t for the train, from rest.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The acceleration of the train is 5m/s2
  2. The time required to travel the 160 m mentioned is 4 s
  3. The time required to attain the speed of 30 m/s is 6 sec
  4. The distance moved from rest to the time the train had a speed of
  5. The graph of x vs. t and v vs t

Step by step solution

01

Given information

vf=50m/sv0=30m/s∆x=160m

02

To understand concept of kinematics

Kinematics is the studies of how a system of bodies moves without taking into account the forces or potential fields that influence the motion. The equations which are used in the study are known as kinematic equations of motion.

Formula:

The velocity is given by,

v2f=v02+2a∆xvf=v0+at

The displacement is given by,

∆x=v0t+12at2

03

a): Calculation for acceleration of train

According to the kinematic equations,

vf2=v02+2a∆x502=302+2×a×160a=5m/s2

So, the acceleration of the train would bea=5m/s2

04

b): Calculation for time required to travel mentioned distance

According to the newton’s second kinematic equation,

∆x=v0t+12at2160=30t+125t2160=30t+2.5t2

Solving the quadratic equation we got,

t=4s

So, 4 sec are required to travel 160 m.

05

c): Calculation for time to reach velocity of 30 m/s

According to the kinematic equations,

vf=v0+a30=0+5t=6sec

06

d): Calculation for distance traveled to reach velocity of  30 m/s from rest

According to the newton’s second kinematic equation,

∆x=v0t+12at2x=12562x=60

So, to reach the velocity of 30 m/s from rest the train should travel a distance for 90m .

07

e): Graphical representation of the given situation

Graph of v vs t
