AI Generated Solution

To find the acceleration of the train as it goes around a curve, we can use the formula for centripetal acceleration. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Speed of the train (v) = 40 m/s - Radius of the curve (r) = 160 m ### Step 2: Use the formula for centripetal acceleration The formula for centripetal acceleration (a) is given by: ...

The brakes of a train which is travelling at 30 m//s are applied as the train passes point A. The brakes produce a constant retardation of magnitude 3lambda m//s^(2) until the speed of the train is reduced to 10 m//s . The train travels at this speed for a distance and is then uniformly accelerated at lambda m//s^(2) until it again reaches a speed of 30 m//s as it passes point B. the time taken by the train in travelling from A to B, a distance of 4 km, is 4 min. Sketch the speed time graph for this motion and calculate:- (i) The value of lambda (ii) Distance travelled at 10 m//s .
