Until a train is a safe distance from the station, it must travel at 5 m/s. once the train is on open track, it can speec
up to 45 m/s. if it takes a train 8 seconds to reach 45 m/s, what is the acceleration of the train?
m/s2

The acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

let the initial velocity of a train = 5 m/s and

final velocity of a train = 45 m/s

time taken = 8 s

To find:

acceleration: ?

Solution:

We define acceleration as change in velocity per unit time that is the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity divided by time.

On substituting the above values we get the required acceleration

Therefore,the acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².
