    Do They Have a Point? Analyzing Train Deceleration Problem

    ZZ , But ambiguous in what way . The alternate conclusion was this step wise deceleration assumption. Which by the way would be physically impossible for a train to do . Can one assume this step wise deceleration and satisfy a description of uniform deceleration ? The decleration might have...

    Do They Have a Point? Analyzing Train Deceleration Problem

    Thanks for the responses guys . Here's another comment on the question "My math sense is more than adequate, thanks. A's in Calc and Diffy Q. Your questions, on the other hand, are very poorly written and ambiguous. It's one thing to pose a poorly phrased question, it's another to attack...

    Do They Have a Point? Analyzing Train Deceleration Problem

    I posted a question as thus : A train moving at 100 km/hr uniformly decelerates at a rate of 10 km/hr each hr. How far does it travel before stopping ? A few people interpreted the wording of the question to mean the train travels through each hr at a constant speed and then on the cusp...
