Question

A train starting from rest moves with a uniform acceleration of 0.2 m/s² for 5 minutes. Calculate the speed acquired and the distance travelled in this time.

Answer 1

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s 

Final velocity, v = ? Acceleration, a = 0.2 m/s² 

Time, t = 5 min = 300 s 

v = u + at = 60 m/s
