Question

A train starts from rest and picks up a velocity of 15 m/s in 3 s. The acceleration of the train is ___ m/s2.

hintHint:

Final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration cross times time taken 

The correct answer is: 5


    Given:
    Initial velocity (u) = 0ms-1
    Final velocity (v) = 15ms-1
    Time taken (t) = 3s
    Acceleration (a) =?
    Formula used:
    v space equals space u space plus space a t space

    Solution: 
    15 space equals space 0 space plus space a space cross times space 3 space
a space equals space fraction numerator plus 15 over denominator 3 end fraction space equals space plus 5 m s to the power of negative 2 end exponent
    ANSWER: 
    a = 5ms-2

    Sam wants to modify the formula for acceleration
    I.e., a = (v – u)/ t
    Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t= time, a = acceleration, to suit the special case of freefall of a ball dropped from the top of a building. He chooses to make the following substitutions in the formula.
    a. v= 0
    b. u= 0
    c. a= 9.8 m/s2
