Answer:
acceleration a = 1.04 m/s2
Explanation:
Assume the train has a speed of 23m/s when the last car passes the railway workers. Once this happens the last car would have traveled a total distance of the 180m distance between the railway worker standing 180 m from where the front of the train started plus the 75m distance from the first car to the last car:
s = 75 + 180 = 255 m
We can use the following equation of motion to find out the distance traveled by the car:
where v = 23 m/s is the velocity of the car when it passes the worker,
= 0m/s is the initial velocity of the car when it starts, a m/s2 is the acceleration, which we are looking for.
