Answer:
123.30 m
Explanation:
Given
Speed, u = 22 m/s
acceleration, a = 1.40 m/s²
time, t = 7.30 s
From equation of motion,
v = u + at
where,
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is time
V = at + U
using equation v - u = at to get line equation for the graph of the motion of the train on the incline plane
where m is the slope
Comparing equation (1) and (2)
a = m
Since the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.40 m/s² when going up the incline plane. This implies the train is decelerating. Therefore, the train is experiencing negative acceleration.
a = - 1.40 m/s²
Sunstituting a = - 1.40 m/s² and u = 22 m/s
The speed of the train at 7.30 s is 11.78 m/s.
The distance traveled after 7.30 sec on the incline is the area cover on the incline under the specific interval.
Area of triangle + Area of rectangle
= 37.303 + 85.994
= 123. 297 m
≈ 123. 30 m
