A train 4.00 3 102 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 82.4 km/h.

A train 4.00 3 102 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 82.4 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and later the last car passes the crossing with a speed of 16.4 km/h. Assuming constant acceleration, determine how long the train blocked the crossing. Disregard the width of the crossing.

The  value  is  t  =29.2  \  s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Generally the average velocity of the train is mathematically represented as

          v  =  \frac{u +  v}{2}

substituting  82.4 km/h for  u and   16.4 km/h. for  v

       v  =  \frac{82.4 + 16.4}{2}

          v  =  49.4 \  km/h

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

     t  =  \frac{ L}{v}

substituting   49.4 \  km/h for  v and  4.00 * 10^2 \  m  =  0.400 \  km

         t  =  \frac{ 0.400}{49.4}

          t  = 0.00809 \  h

converting to seconds

         t  = 0.00809 * 3600

          t  =29.2  \  s
