What must be the acceleration of a train in order for it to stop from 12m/s in a distance of 541m? Please help!!

The acceleration of the train must be - 0.133 m/s²

Explanation:

A train in order for it to stop 12 m/s in a distance if 541 m

That means the initial velocity of the train is 12 m/s

Its final velocity is zero (stop)

The distance it covers is 541 m

P.S. This is part of the answer of another user this is not my knowledge.

But Hope I helped you

-0.133 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 541 m

v₀ = 12 m/s

v = 0 m/s

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(0 m/s)² = (12 m/s)² + 2a (541 m)

a = -0.133 m/s²

answer: 2×10^-2kg

explanation: density= mass per volume

vol=mass/density

converting to s.i units we have;

3÷1000kg = 0.003

1.5÷100m = 0.15

0.003/0.15 = 0.02kg
