Initial velocity u = 0 ms–1, uniform acceleration a = ?

A train starting from a railway station and moving with uniform acceleration attains a speed of 40 km h

Question:

A train starting from a railway station and moving with uniform acceleration attains a speed of 40 km h^–1 in 10 minutes. Find its acceleration.

Answer:

Time t = 10 minutes

t = 10 x 60

t = 600 sec

‍

Initial velocity = u = 0 ms⁻¹

Final velocity = v = 40 km h⁻¹

Final velocity = v = (40 x 1000)/3600

Final velocity = v = 11.1 ms⁻¹

‍

Acceleration a = (v-u)/t

Acceleration a = (11.1 - 0)/600

Acceleration a = 0.0185 ms⁻²
