Question

A train travelling at 20 m s⁻¹ accelerates at 0.5 m s⁻² for 30 s. How far will it travel in this time?

Solution

We have to find the distance travelled by the train. We have the following information given,
So, initial velocity, (u) = 20 m/s
Acceleration, (a) = 0.5 m/s²
Time taken, (t) = 30 s
We can calculate the distance travelled by using the 2^nd equation of motion,
$s = u t + \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$
Put the values in above equation to find the distance travelled by the train,
$(s) = 20 (30) + \frac{1}{2} (0.5) (30)^{2} = (600 + 225) m = 825 m$
