An electric train moving at 20km/hr accelerates to a speed of 30km/hr 20seconds. Find the distance travelled in meter during the period of acceleration.
The distance travelled in meters during the period of acceleration is 600 meters. This can be calculated by using the equation:
Distance = (Speed x Time)
Distance = (30km/hr - 20km/hr) x (20 seconds)
Distance = (10km/hr) x (20 seconds)
Distance = (10 x 1000) x (20)
Distance = 20000 meters
Distance = 20km
Distance = 20000/1000
Distance = 20 meters
