How does the direction of the acceleration along determine if the object is speeding up or slowing down?

1 Answer

Answer :

Take the component of the acceleration along the direction theobject is moving. If this component is positive (the accelerationvector, or the relevant component, points in the same direction asthe movement), then the object is speeding up.

Description : A train M speeding with 60km/hr crooses another train N, running in the same direction in 1 min. If the lengths of the trains M and N be 50m and 100m respectively. What is the speed of train N? A) 15 km/hr B) 61km/hr C) 51km/hr D) 50k/hr

Last Answer : ANSWER: C Explanation:  Let the speed of be train N be ‘x’km/hr  Speed of M relative to N = (60 – x)km/hr  = (60-x) * 5/18]m/s = (300 – 5x / 18)m/s  150 / (300 – 5x / 18) =60  2700/300-5x=60  2700=18000-300x 300x=15300  x= 153/3  x=51km/hr  Therefore the speed of the train is 51 km/hr
