Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant (and quite modest) acceleration. a train travels through a congested part of town at 7.0 m/s . once free of this area, it speeds up to 13 m/s in 8.0 s. at the edge of town, the driver again accelerates, with the same acceleration, for another 16 s to reach a higher cruising speed?

25 m/s

Explanation:

from the question you van see that some detail is missing, however i found this same question using internet search engines on: 'https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/light-rail-passenger-trains-provide-transportation-within-cities-speed-slow-nearly-constan-q5808369'

here is the complete question:

'Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant (and quite modest) acceleration. A train travels through a congested part of town at 7.0m/s . Once free of this area, it speeds up to 12m/s in 8.0 s. At the edge of town, the driver again accelerates, with the same acceleration, for another 16 s to reach a higher cruising speed. What is the final Speed?'

SOLUTION

initial speed (u) = 7 m/s

final speed (v) = 13 m/s

initial acceleration time (t1) = 8 s

final acceleration time (t2) = 16 s

what is the higher cruising speed?

acceleration =

acceleration = = 0.75 m/s^{2}

since the train accelerates at the same rate, the increase in  speed will be = acceleration x time (t2)

= 0.75 x 16 = 12 m/s

therefore the higher cruising speed = increase in speed + initial speed

= 12 + 13 = 25 m/s

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it
