You are at a train station, standing next to the train at the front of the first car. The train starts moving with constant acce

leration, and 5.0 s later the back of the first car passes you.
How long does it take after the train starts moving until the back of the seventh car passes you? All cars are the same length.

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

The solution HAS to include the Kinematic equations with constant acceleration

Please include a graph.

The time needed for the 7th car to pass is 13.2 s

Explanation:

The motion of the train is a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use suvat equations.

We start by analzying the motion of the first car, by using the equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance covered by the first car in a time t, which corresponds to the length of one car

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t = 5.0 s is the time

The equation can be rewritten as

a=\frac{2s}{t^2}=\frac{2L}{(5.0)^2}=0.08L[m/s^2]

where L is the length of one car.

The same equation can be written considering the first 7 cars:

7L = ut+\frac{1}{2}at'^2

where

7L is the distance covered by the 7 cars

t' is the time needed

We still have

u = 0

And the acceleration is constant so it is

a=0.08L

Substituting into the equation, we can find t':

7L = \frac{1}{2}(0.08L)t'^2\\7=0.04t'^2\\t'=\sqrt{\frac{7}{0.04}}=13.2 s

In attachment the graph of the distance covered versus the time taken: since the motion is uniformly accelerated, the relationship between the two variables is quadratical.

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 2.0 m/s2 toward the north. A second car starts from rest 4.0 s later at the
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

the correct solution is 13 s

Explanation:

This is a kinematic problem, let's use accelerated rectilinear motion relationships.

For the first car it has an accelerometer of 2.0 m/s²

       x = v₀₁ t + ½ a₁ t²

The second car leaves the same point, but 4.0 seconds later

       x = v₀₂ (t-4) + ½ a₂ (t-4)²

With this form we use the same time for both cars.

The initial speeds are zero for both vehicles leave the rest, at the point where they are located has the same position

        x = ½ a₁ t²

        x = ½ a₂ (t-4)²

Let's solve

       a₁  t² = a₂ (t-4)²

      a₁/a₂ t² = t² -2 4 t + 16

      t² (1- 2.0 / 4.0) - 8 t +16

      t² 0.5 - 8 t +16 = 0

      t² -16 t + 32 = 0

Let's solve the second degree equation

     t = [16 ±√( 16² - 4 32)] / 2  

     t = ½ (16 ± 11,3)

Solutions

     t1 = 13.66 s

     t2 = 2.34 s

These are the mathematical solutions for the meeting point, but car 2 leaves after 4 seconds, so the only solution is 13.66 s

the correct solution is 13 s, if you have to select one the nearest 12s
