A train starting from rest picks up a speed of $10\, m s ^{-1}$ in $100\, s$. It continues to move at the same speed for the next $250\, s$. It is then brought to rest in the nert $50\, s$. Plot a speed$-$time graph for the entire motion of the train.

$(i)$ acceleration of the train while accelerating,

$(ii)$ retardation of the train while retarding,

$(iii)$ and the total distance covered by the train.

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

The speed$-$time graph is as shown

$(i)$ Acceleration is equal to the slope of the graph

$AB =\frac{ BF }{ AF }=\frac{10}{100}=0.1 m s ^{-2}$

$(ii)$ Retardation is equal to the slope of the graph

$CD =\frac{ CE }{ DE }=\frac{10}{50}=0.2 m s ^{-2}$

$(iii)$ Distance covered during retardation Area of trapezium $ABCD$

$=\frac{1}{2}( AD + BC ) \times BF$

$=\frac{1}{2}(400+250) \times 10=3250 m$
