a train starts from rest and accelerates unifotmly, until it has travled 3.7 km and acquired a velocity of 30 m/s. the train then moves at a constant velocity of 30 m/s for 410 s. the train then slows down uniformly at 0.065 m/s^2, until it reaches a halt. what distance does the train travel while it is slowing down

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2ad

a=(V^2-Vo^2)/2d=(900-0)/7400=0.122 m/s^2

d2 = 30m/s * 410s = 12300 m.

d3 = (V^2-Vo^2)/2a
d3 = (0-900)/-0.130 = 6923 m.

To find the distance traveled while the train is slowing down, we need to calculate the time it takes for the train to come to a halt first.

We know that the train initially starts from rest and accelerates uniformly until it reaches a velocity of 30 m/s. We can use the equation of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Where:
v = final velocity (30 m/s)
u = initial velocity (0 m/s)
a = acceleration

Since the train starts from rest, the initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s. Rearranging the equation, we get:

a = (v^2 - u^2) / (2s)

Substituting the values, we find:

a = (30^2 - 0^2) / (2 * 3.7 km)

Note that we need to convert the distance from kilometers to meters:

a = (900 - 0) / (2 * 3.7 * 1000)

Next, we calculate the acceleration (a):

a = 900 / 7400

a ≈ 0.122 m/s^2

So, the train accelerates at a rate of approximately 0.122 m/s^2.

Now, we can calculate the time it takes for the train to reach a constant velocity. We can use the formula:

v = u + at

Since the train initially starts from rest, the initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s. Rearranging the equation, we get:

t = (v - u) / a

Substituting the values, we find:

t = (30 - 0) / 0.122

t ≈ 245.9 s

Therefore, the train takes approximately 245.9 seconds to reach a constant velocity of 30 m/s.

Finally, we can calculate the distance traveled while the train is slowing down. We can use the equation of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Since the train comes to a halt, the final velocity (v) is 0 m/s. Rearranging the equation, we get:

s = (v^2 - u^2) / (2a)

Substituting the values, we find:

s = (0^2 - 30^2) / (2 * -0.065)

s = (-900) / (-0.13)

s ≈ 6923.1 m

Therefore, the train travels approximately 6923.1 meters while it is slowing down.
