Answer:
a) 16.46 seconds.
b) 13.46 seconds
c) 2.67 m/s²
Explanation:
Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²
Final velocity = v = 80 km/h =
Initial velocity = u = 0
Equation of motion
Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 16.46 seconds.
Acceleration = a = -1.65 m/s²
Initial velocity = u = 80 km/h=
Final velocity = v = 0
Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.46 seconds
Initial velocity = u = 80 km/h=
Time taken = t = 8.3 s
Final velocity = v = 0
Emergency deceleration is 2.67 m/s²
