Two trains travelling on the same track are approaching each other with equal speed of 40 m/s. The drivers of the trains begin to decelerate simultaneously when they are just 2 km apart. If the decelerations are both uniformly an equal, then the value of deceleration to avoid the collision should be (1) 0.8 m/s (2) slightly more than 0.8 m/s2 (3) slightly less than 0.8 m/s? (4) 0.5 m/s |

Answer» Answer: -0.8 m/sec^2 Step-by-step explanation: initial VELOCITY is 40m/s to avoid collision on same TRACK they NEED to completely stop,therefore final velocity will be zero. distance is 2km i.e. 2000m. using 3rd EQUATION of motion 2as= v^2 - u^2 2*a*2000=-1600 a=-1600/2000 a=-0.4ms^-2 now total retardation for 2 trains will be into 2. you get the answer please Mark me brainliest |
