Answer:
Question :-
If a Train going with 60 m/s Speed hits the Brakes, and takes 85 sec to stop. What is the Acceleration of the Train ?
Answer :-
Acceleration of Train is 0.70 m/s² .
Explanation :-
As per the provided information in the given question, we have been given that the Speed of the Train is 60 m/s . Time taken to stop the Train is 85 sec . And, we have been asked to calculate the Acceleration of the Train .
For calculating the Acceleration , we will use the Formula :-
\begin{gathered} \bigstar \: \: \: \boxed { \sf{ \: Acceleration \: = \: \dfrac{v \: - \: u}{t} \: }} \\ \end{gathered}
★
Acceleration=
t
v−u
Where ,
V denotes to Final Velocity .
U denotes to Initial Velocity .
T denotes to Time Taken .
Therefore , by Substituting the given values in the above Formula :-
\begin{gathered} \dag \: \: \: \: \sf{Acceleration \: = \: \dfrac{Final \: Velocity \: - \: Initial \: Velocity}{Time} } \\ \end{gathered}
†Acceleration=
Time
FinalVelocity−InitialVelocity
\begin{gathered} \longmapsto \: \: \: \sf{Acceleration \: = \: \dfrac{0 \: - \: 60}{85} } \\ \end{gathered}
⟼Acceleration=
85
0−60
\begin{gathered} \longmapsto \: \: \: \sf{Acceleration \: = \: \dfrac{60}{85} } \\ \end{gathered}
⟼Acceleration=
85
60
\longmapsto \: \: \: \textbf {\textsf {Acceleration \: = \: 0.70 }}⟼Acceleration = 0.70
Hence :-
Acceleration = 0.70 m/s² .
