II. Solve the following problems. Show your solution.

46. A train starts at rest accelerates to a speed of 25 m/s over a distance of 150 m.
Determine the acceleration (assume uniform) of the train. (Formula: vf2 =vi2 +
2ad)
Given: Find: a=?
vi = 0 m/s (assume the train starts from rest)
vf = 20 m/s
d= 150 m

Solution:
vf2 =vi2 + 2ad
(20 m/s) 2= (0 m/s) + 2(a)(150 m)
400 m2/s2 = 0 m2/s2 + (300 m) a
400 m2/s2 = (300 m) a
(400 m2/s2) / (300 m) = a
a= 1.3 m/s
47. An airplane accelerates from rest on a runway at 5.50 m/s2 for 20.25 s until it
finally off the ground. What is the distance covered before takeoff?
Given: Find:
a = 5.50 m/s d=?
t = 20.25 s
vi = 0 m/s

Solution:
d = vit + ½ at2
d = (0 m/s) (20.25 s) + ½ (5.50 m/s2) (20.25 s)2
d = 1130 m

48. What is the efficiency of a gasoline engines that receives 192.75J of energy from
combustion and lose 125.25 J by heat to exhaust during one cycle?
Given: QC= 5.25J Find: Efficiency=?
QH = 192.75 J
Solution:
Efficiency = 1- QC x 100%
QH
= 1- 125.25 J x 100 %
195.75 J
Efficiency= 0.36 or 36 %
