Algebra.Com's Answer #658393 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! A train start from rest from a station and travels with uniform acceleration 0.5ms^-2 for 20s it travels with uniform velocity for 30s d brakes are then applied so that a uniform retardation is obtained and the train comes to rest in a further 10s sketch the velocity time graph of the motion using your graph calculate the total distance traveled by the train \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "vt graph, t = x-axis, v = y-axis \n" ); document.write( "Start at the Origin. \n" ); document.write( "The 1st part is y = 0.5x from x = 0 to x = 20 \n" ); document.write( "The speed after 20 seconds = 0.5*20 = 10 m/sec \n" ); document.write( "The end-point is (20,10) \n" ); document.write( "s = at^2/2 --> distance = 200 meters \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "The 2nd part is y = 10 from x = 10 to x = 40 \n" ); document.write( "--> end-point is (40,10) \n" ); document.write( "Total distance = 200 + 300 = 500 meters \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "The brakes change its speed from 10 m/sec to 0 in 10 seconds --> a = 1 m/sec/sec \n" ); document.write( "Its average speed for the 10 seconds is 5 m/sec \n" ); document.write( "s = 5*10 = 50 meters \n" ); document.write( "Total distance = 550 meters. \n" ); document.write( "================= \n" ); document.write( "email via the TY note and I'll send the graph. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
