Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant

(and quite modest) acceleration. A train travels through a congested part of town at 7.0 m/s . Once free of this area, it speeds up to 11 m/s in 8.0 s. At the edge of town, the driver again accelerates, with the same acceleration, for another 16 s to reach a higher cruising speed. You may want to review (Pages 42 - 45) .

Answer:

19 m/s

Explanation:

The complete question requires the final speed to be calculated.

Velocity is the rate and direction at which an object moves. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time and can be calculated by the difference in velocity over a given time.

For this question, first the unknown acceleration must be calculated and used to determine the final velocity

Step 1: Calculate the acceleration

a=\frac{v_{2}-v{1}}{t_{1}}

a=\frac{11-7}{8}

a=\frac{4}{8}

a=0.5 m/s^{2}

Step 2: Calculate the velocity using the acceleration calculated above

a=\frac{v_{3}-v{2}}{t_{2}}

0.5=\frac{v_{3}-11}{16}

v_{3}=19 m/s

Differences between Constant velocity and constant acceleration
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Traveling with a constant velocity means you're going at the same speed in the same direction continuously. If you have a constant velocity, this means you have zero acceleration. ... If you travel with a constant acceleration, your velocity is always changing, but it's changing by a consistent amount each second.

What was David Berkowitz best known for? How did arson play a role in his past?
tankabanditka [31]
David Berkowitz, who became known as Son of Sam, went on a murderous rampage in New York City during the 1970s, taunting and insulting police, until they captured him. On August 10, 1977, 11 days after his last murder, David Berkowitz, known as Son of Sam, was arrested and later sentenced to six consecutive 25-years-to-life terms. Arson has evolved, since the 18th century, from a wrongful individual act into an effective means of collective violence, too. From 1750, the privatisation of common land in England limited peasants' access to resources such as firewood and game. Hope this helped!
