Question

# A metro train runs from station A to B to C. It takes $$4$$ min travelling from station A to station B. The train halts at station B for $$20\,s.$$ Then it starts from station B and reaches station C in next $$3$$ minutes. At the start, the train accelerates for $$10$$ sec to reach the constant speed of $$72\,km/hr.$$ The train moving at the constant speed is brought to rest in $$10$$ sec. at next station. (i) Plot the velocity-time graph for the train travelling from the station A to B to C. (ii) Calculate the distance between the stations A, B and C.

Solution

## $$AB = 4.6 \,km$$$$BC = 3.4\,km$$$$AC = 8\,km$$Train takes $$10$$ sec to reach $$72\,km/h$$$$72\dfrac{km}{h} = 22 \times \dfrac{5}{10} = 20\,m/s$$time travel with constant speed$$4 \times 60 - 10 - 10 = 220\,sec$$$$Q = \dfrac{20}{10} = 2\,m/s^2$$distance from A to B$$= \dfrac{20^2}{2 \times 2} + 20 \times 220 + \dfrac{20^2}{2 \times 2}$$$$= 100 + 4400 + 100$$$$= 4600\,m = 4.6\,km$$Distance from B to C$$\dfrac{20^2}{2 \times 2} + 20 \times 160 + \dfrac{20^2}{2 \times 2}$$$$= 100 + 320 + 100$$$$= 3400 \,m = 3.4\,km$$Distance from A to C$$A - B = 3.4\,km$$$$B - C = 4.6\,km$$$$A - C = 8\,km$$General Knowledge
