jerome Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 A train starts from rest from a station and travels with uniform acceleration 0.5m/s^2 for 20s. it travels with uniform velocity for another 30s, the 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 this motion. Using your graph, calculate the total distance travelled by the train Please include explanations...thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewmon Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 So, first of all, they want a velocity-time graph. The first part involves acceleration and time, so what's the equation that relates velocity and acceleration and time? The uniform-velocity-and-time part should be fairly obvious by itself. The last part involving uniform retardation (braking) sounds similar to the first part. Try solving each part, and get back to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
