Question

Constanza is on a commuter train between Richville and Shoptown. The train takes 35 minutes to cover the distance between the two towns. The train's average speed is 55 kilometers per hour. Use the the concepts of displacement, velocity, and acceleration to describe the train's motion. Calculate the parameters of motion where possible.

Answer 1

1.) Displacement = 32.08m

2.) Velocity = 55km/h

3.) Acceleration = 94.29 km/h^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the train takes 35 minutes to cover the distance between the two towns. The train's average speed is 55 kilometers per hour. That is,

Time t = 35 minute

Convert it to hours by dividing it by 60

35/60 = 7/12 hours

Speed = 55 km/h

The displacement of the car is:

Displacement = 55 × 7/12 = 32.08 m

The velocity of the car will be 55 km/h

The acceleration of the car will be:

Acceleration = velocity/time

Substitute velocity and time into the formula

Acceleration = 55 ÷ 7/12

Acceleration = 94.29 km/h^2
