Question

A train is moving at a speed of 90km/h.On applying brakes,a retardation of 2.5m/ S2 is created.At what distance before, should the driver apply brakes to stop the train

Open in App

Solution

v²=u²+2aS
v=0 km/h= 0 m/s
u=90 km/h = 90×(5/18)
=25 m/s
a= -2.5m/s²

0²=25² -2×2.5×S
S=625÷5
=125 m
