Distance Travelled by Train

The velocity of train increases uniformly from \(20 \text{ km/h}\) to \(60 \text{ km/h}\) in 4 hours. The distance travelled by the train during this period, is:

(1994)

160 Km
180 Km
100 Km
120 Km

Solution:

Given initial velocity \(u = 20 \text{ km/h}\), final velocity \(v = 60 \text{ km/h}\), and time \(t = 4 \text{ h}\). For uniform acceleration, the distance \(S = \frac{u+v}{2}t\). Plugging in the values, \(S = \frac{20 + 60}{2} \times 4 = \frac{80}{2} \times 4 = 40 \times 4 = 160 \text{ km}\).
