A train moving with a velocity of 42.9 km/hour North, increases its speed with a uniform acceleration of 0.250 m/s^2 North until

it reaches a velocity of 160.0 km/hour North. What distance did the train travel while it was increasing its velocity, in units of meters? Give the answer as a positive number

Answer:

3658.24m

Explanation:

Hello!

the first thing that we must be clear about is that the train moves with constant acceleration

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X

Vf = final speed =160km/h=44.4m/s

Vo = Initial speed =42.9km/h=11.92m/s

A = acceleration =0.25m/s^2

X = displacement

solving

\frac {44.4^{2}-11.92^2}{2.(0.25)} =X\\X=3658.24m

the distance traveled by the train is 3658.24m

An object traveling at a constant speed but with a changing direction is accelerating.
prohojiy [21]

Strange as it may seem, that's true. (choice 'a'.)

"Acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up".  It means ANY change in
the speed or direction of motion.  So a car with the brakes applied
and slowing down, and a point on the rim of a bicycle wheel that's
turning at a constant rate, are both accelerating.

When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the oxygen ion?
Mashutka [201]
-2. This is because it is gaining electrons. Electrons are negative. Therefore it is a negative charge.

How many paths do the electrons have to flowlin a series circuit?
AleksandrR [38]
One path because in a series circuit it is only one path while in a parallel circuit you have 2 or more. Our houses use parallel so that is why you can turn off one light and the rest would stay on.
