A train is traveling down a straight track at 20. m/s when the engineer applies the brakes, resulting in an acceleration of -1.0 m/s2 as long as the train is in motion. how far does the train move during a 40. s time interval starting at the instant the brakes are applied?

Answer:

The answer to your question is: d = 0 m, it does not move

Explanation:

Data

vo = 20 m/s

a = -1 m/s2

t = 40 s

d = ?

Formula

d = vot + (1/2)at²

Substitution

d = (20)(40) + (1/2)(-1)(40)²

d = 800 - 800

d = 0 m                                  It suggest that it does not move.
