We want to find the distance the train travels from the time the conductor applies the brakes until the train comes to a complete stop. Which kinematic formula would be most useful to solve for the target unknown? Choose 1

The distance the train travels before coming to a (complete) stop = 40/81 km which is approximately 493.83 meters

Explanation:

The initial speed of the train u = 80 km/h = 22 2/9 m/s = 22. m/s

The magnitude of the constant acceleration with which the train slows, a = 0.5 m/s²

Therefore, we have the following suitable kinematic equation of motion;

v² = u² - 2 × a × s

Where;

v = The final velocity = 0 (The train comes to a stop)

s = The distance the train travels before coming to a stop

Substituting the  values gives;

0² = 22.² - 2 × 0.5 × s

2 × 0.5 × s = 22.²

s = 22.²/1 = 493 67/81 m = 40/81 km

The distance the train travels before coming to a (complete) stop = 40/81 km ≈ 493.83 m.

true is the correct answer

hope i

what is the actual question though?
