    A train is moving along a straight path with uniform acceleration. Its engine passes across a pole with a velocity of 60\[km{{h}^{-1}}\]and the end (guards van) passes across same pole with a velocity of 80\[km{{h}^{-1}}\]. The middle point of the train will pass across same pole with a velocity

    A)  70 \[km{{h}^{-1}}\]                       

    B)  70.7\[km{{h}^{-1}}\]

    C)  65 \[km{{h}^{-1}}\]      

    D)  75\[km{{h}^{-1}}\]

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    From, \[{{v}^{2}}-{{u}^{2}}=2as\] \[\frac{{{80}^{2}}-{{60}^{2}}}{2a}=s\] \[s=\frac{6400-3600}{2a}\] \[=\frac{2800}{2a}\] \[=\frac{1400}{a}\] The middle point of the train is to cover a distance \[\frac{s}{2}=\frac{700}{a}\] From,    \[{{v}^{2}}-{{u}^{2}}=2as\] \[{{v}^{2}}-{{60}^{2}}=2a\times \frac{700}{a}\] \[=1400\] \[{{v}^{2}}=1400+3600\] \[v=\sqrt{5000}\]    \[=70.7\,km{{h}^{-1}}\]
