Question
A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to achieve a velocity of 20 m per sec in 10 sec. Then the train maintains this speed for next 200 s. The breaks are then applied and train comes to rest in next 50 s. Calculate:
a) acceleration in first 10 s
b) acceleration in last 50 s
c) the total distance traveled by the train in whole journey
d) average velocity of the trip.

If he accelerated for 60 s and then maintained his increased speed for the remainder of the race, calculate his acceleration over the 60 s interval. Assume his instantaneous speed at the 7.29 km mark was the same as his overall average speed up to that time.acceleration = ? m/s2arrow_forward
