2.1 A train moves at a constant speed of 36 km/h-1 for 10 s. Calculate the distance traveled. (100m)
Solution:Speed = V = 36 km/h-1= 36 x 1000/ 60 x 60 = 36000/ 3600 = 10ms-1
time t = 10s
distance = S =?
S = Vt
P = 10 x 10 = 100 m
2.2 A train starts from rest. It covers 1 km in 100 s with constant acceleration. What will its velocity be after 100 s? (20ms-1)
Solution:initial velocity vUE= 0ms-1
Distance S = 1km = 1000m
time = 100s
top speed vF=?
S = VUEx t + 1/2 x a x t2
1000 = 0 x 100 + 1/2 x a x (100)2
1000 = 1/2 x 10000a
1000 = 5000a
a = 1000/5000 = 0,2ms-2
now with 1calleequation of motion
vF= VUE+ em
vF= 0 + 0,2 x 100
vF= 20ms-1

2.3 A car has a speed of 10 ms-1. Speed up in 0.2ms-2for half a minute. Find the distance traveled in this time and the final speed of the car. (390m, 16ms-1)
Solution:Initial speed = Vue =10ms-1

S = 300 + 90
S = 390 m
- use of 1calleequation of motion
vF= VUE+ em
vF= 10 + 0,2 x 30
vF= 10 + 6
vF= 16ms-1
2.4 A tennis ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 30 ms.-1, it takes 3 s to reach the highest point. Calculate the maximum height the ball will reach. How long will it be until I'm back on the ground? (45m, 6s)
Solution:Initial speed = Vue =30ms-1
Acceleration due to gravity g = -10 ms-2
Time to reach maximum altitude = t = 3 s
top speed vF= 0ms-1

P = 90 – 5 x 9
S = 90 – 45
P = 45m
Total time = time to reach maximum altitude + time to return to the ground
= 3s + 3s = 6s

2.7 A train starts from rest, accelerates constantly and reaches a speed of 48 km/h-1in 2 minutes At that speed, he drives for 5 minutes. Finally, it moves with a uniform delay, stopping after 3 minutes. Calculate the total distance traveled by the train.
Solution: Case – I: (6000 m)
Initial speed = VUE= 0ms-1
Time = t = 2 minutes = 2x 60 = 120 s
Final speed = VF= 48 km/h-1= 48 x 1000/3600 = 13 333 ms-1
S1= VVonxt
S1= (VF+vUE)/2 x t
S1= 13.333 + 0/2 x 120
S1= 6,6665 x 120
S1= 799,99m = 800m
Autumn – II:
Uniform speed = VF= 13.333ms-1
Time = t = 5 minutes = 5 x 60 = 300 s
S2= v x t
S2= 13.333 x 300
S2= 3999,9 = 4000m
Autumn – III:
Initial speed = VF= 13.333ms-1
Final speed = VUE= 0ms-1
Time = t = 3 minutes = 3 x 60 = 180 s
S3= VVonxt
S3= (VF+vUE)/2x180
S3= 13.333 + 0/2 x 180
S3= 6,6665 x 180
S3= 1199,97 = 1200m
Total distance = S = S1+S2+S3
S = 800 + 4000 + 1200

2.8 A cricket ball is kicked upwards and 6 s later it falls back to the ground. Calculation
(i) Maximum height reached by the ball
(ii) Initial velocity of the ball (45m, 30ms-1)
Solution:Acceleration due to gravity = g = -10 ms-1(for upward movement)
Time to reach maximum altitude (one-sided time) = t = 6/2 = 3 s
Speed at maximum altitude = VF= 0ms-1
- Maximum height reached by the sphere S = h =?
- The maximum initial velocity of the ball = VUE=?

2.9 When braking, the speed of a train decreases from 96 km/h-1 to 48 km/h-1 in 800 m. How far does the train travel before stopping? (Assuming the delay is constant.) (266.66m)
Solution:Initial speed = Vue =96 km/h-1= 96 x 1000/3600 = 96000/3600ms-1
Final speed = Vf = 48 km/h-1= 48 x 1000/3600 = 48000/3600ms-1
Distance = S = 800 m
More distance = S1=?
First we find the value of the acceleration a
2aS = VF2–vUE2
2 x a x 800 = (48000/3600)2– (96000/3600)2
1600a = (48000/3600)2– ((2x48000)/3600)2(96000 = 2x48000)
1600a = (48000/3600)2((1)2– (2)2) (with (48000/36000) as usual)
1600a = (48000/3600)2(1 – 4)
1600a = (48000/3600)2(-3)
= (48000/3600)2×3/1600
now we find the value of the additional distance S2:
vF= 0, S2=?
2aS = VF2–vUE2
-2 (48000/36000)2x 3/1600 x S1= (0)2– (48000/36000)2
S1= (48000/36000)2x (48000/36000)2x 1600/3 x 2
S1= 1600/6
S2= 266,66m

2.10 In the problem above, find the time it takes for the train to come to a stop after braking. (80s)
Solution:taking the data from exercise 2.9:
Initial speed = VUE= 96 km/h-1= 96 x 1000/3600 = 96000/3600ms-1
Final speed = VF= 0ms-1
a = -(48000/3600)2x 3/1600ms-2

you vF= VUE+ em
o and = VF–vUE
t = VF–vUE/A
t = 0 – (48000/3600)/-( (48000/3600) x 1/1600
t = – 96000/3600 x (3600/48000)2×1600/3
t = 2 x 48000/3600 x (3600/48000 x 3600/48000) x 1600/3
t = 2x3600/3x3
t = 2 x 40 = 80 s
