A train is moving with velocity of 54 kmph is acceleratedesigned so that it's velocity becomes 72 kmph in 15 seconds . Find the acceleration of the train.

Question

It's a numerical of physics of chapter motion please solve it .

Answer 1

Hi Keshav,

 

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. You can find it by dividing the change in velocity over the same time interval the velocity changes.

 

a = (72-54) / 15

= 18 kmph /15 sec

= 5 m/sec / 15 sec

= 0.3 m sec^-2
