A train moving at 12 m/s accelerates to 36 m/s over a distance of 8.0 km.
(A) what is the train's acceleration?



Change 8.0 km to 8000 m so we don't mix km's with m's


An acceleration of 0.072 m/s².

(B) how much time does it take the train to reach 36 m/s?

 



333.3... seconds, divide by 60, 5.556 minutes



average speed = 24 m/s
