Explanation:
<u>Uniform Acceleration </u>
When an object changes its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.
The relation between the initial and final speeds is:
Where:
vf = Final speed
vo = Initial speed
a = Constant acceleration
t = Elapsed time
It's known a train moves from rest (vo=0) to a speed of vf=25 m/s in t=30 seconds. It's required to calculate the acceleration.
Solving for a:
Substituting:
In order to draw the free body diagram, first let's calculate the friction force acting on the crate:
Since the friction force is greater than the force applied, the crate will not move, and the friction force will be equal to the force applied.
The weight force is equal to 40 * 9.8 = 392 N.
So, drawing the diagram, we have:
