Question

How long does it take for a train to increase its velocity from 10m/s to 40m/s if it accelerates at 3 m/s

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Vi = 10 m/s

Vf = 40 m/s

a = 3 m/s^2

Formula

a = (vf - vi) /t Substitute the givens into this formuls

Solution

3 = (40 - 10) / t Multiply both sides by t

3*t = t(40 - 10)/t Combine. Cancel t's on the right

3*t = 30 Divide by 3

3t/3 = 30 / 3

Answer: t = 10 seconds.
