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 .

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 :-


\bigstar \: \: \: \boxed { \sf{ \: Acceleration \: = \: (v \: - \: u)/(t) \: }} \\

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 :-


\dag \: \: \: \: \sf{Acceleration \: = \: (Final \: Velocity \: - \: Initial \: Velocity)/(Time) } \\


\longmapsto \: \: \: \sf{Acceleration \: = \: (0 \: - \: 60)/(85) } \\


\longmapsto \: \: \: \sf{Acceleration \: = \: (60)/(85) } \\


\longmapsto \: \: \: \textbf {\textsf {Acceleration \: = \: 0.70 }}

Hence :-

  • Acceleration = 0.70 m/s² .
