Since transformers use laws that require time changing quantities (alternating current), the battery would produce no voltage on the secondary windings. In fact the primary winding would short out the battery to a large extent since the resistance of its copper windings would be very low.
In reality, as the battery was first connected to the primary, a very short blip of voltage would appear on the secondary as the magnetic field initially grew in the core (that would constitute a time-changing magnetic field required for the device to work). But it would immediately go away afterwards and that output cannot be determined without actually doing the experiment due to so many unknowns.
But this question isn't looking for that explanation. It's kind of a trick question.
Answer:
d = 493.72 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity of the train, u = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s
Acceleration of the train, a = -0.5 m/s² (negative as it slows down)
Finally brakes are applied, v = 0
We need to find the distance the train travels. Let the distance be d. Using third equation of kinematics to find it.
So, the required distance is equal to 493.72 m.
