A train starts from rest moves with a constant acceleration of 2m/s^2 for half a minute. The brakes are then applied and then train comes to rest in one minute after applying breaks. Find (a)The total distance moved by the train, (b)the maximum speed attained by the train and (c) the position(s) of the train at half the maximum speed

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It can be solved into two parts.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\huge\sf Part-1\) take u=0, a=2, t=1 and find s using second equation of motion, also find v using first equation.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ok

OpenStudy (abmon98):

Part a) half a minute is 30 seconds ut+1/2at^2=s 0+1/2(2)(30)^2=s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let @Abhisar only answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because it can get confusing

OpenStudy (abmon98):

okay @No.name

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yeahh he means let me do it first then u can answer @Abmon98 ...don't take it in other ways :)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

S=ut+\(\frac{1}{2}\times2\times1^2\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

=1m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

S = 1

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Also from V=u+at, v= 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Now the car will be deaccelarated...find a using v=u-at

OpenStudy (abhisar):

take u=2 and v=0

OpenStudy (abhisar):

t=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u = 2?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yes, now find s using ut+\(\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

u=2, t=1, a=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yes

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Finally add both the distances.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thus total distance can be found out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, first part over

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maximum speed

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Max speed will be at the end of step 1......v=0+2\(\times\)1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(Well I answered your question)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't get max speed

OpenStudy (abhisar):

oh man ! There got a mistake...we took 1 min but 1/2 min was given.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But i got the idea its ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How to find max speed

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ok...u should also change minutes into seconds...1/2 min=30 seconds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(your question is answered) :)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yes..lets move to it....speed increases until body gets accelerated. Our car was accelerated until 30 seconds.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

V=0+2*30=15m/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so at 30th second velocity is maximum

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yes

OpenStudy (abhisar):

getting it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the last part

OpenStudy (abhisar):

at half the maximum speed, V\(^2\)=U\(^2\)+2as, take u=0, v=7.5, a=2 and find s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i got it

OpenStudy (abhisar):

sure ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you , yes
