A train starting from rest attains a velocity of 90 kilometre per hour in 5 minutes assuming that the acceleration is uniform find the acceleration and the distance travelled by the train for attaining the velocity

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student

u = 0
v = 90 km/h = 25 m/s
t = 5 min = 300 s

v = u + at
25 = 0 + a x 300
a = 1/12 m/s²

s = ut + 1/2 at²
Putting all the values, we get
s = 3750 m
