Chapter 12 Problem 12-35

Question

A freight train starts from rest and travels with a constant acceleration of 0.5 ft>s 2 . After a time t it maintains a constant speed so that when t = 160 s it has traveled 2000 ft. Determine the time t and draw the vt graph for the motion.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 12 problem number 35 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A freight train starts from rest and travels with a constant acceleration of 0.5 ft>s 2 . After a time t it maintains a constant speed so that when t = 160 s it has traveled 2000 ft. Determine the time t and draw the vt graph for the motion.
From the textbook chapter Kinematics of a Particle you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
