Solving a Tube Train Journey - Find Time in Each Stage

In summary, the conversation is about a person asking for help with a physics problem involving a train's journey. They first mention the train's distance, acceleration, and time, and then ask for the time taken in each stage of the journey. The other person responds by stating that they cannot just give out the answers and the person asking for help must show some work. They also mention that there is a special forum for homework questions. The person asking for help apologizes and states that they are new to this. The other person then asks for the relevant kinematic equations and how to apply them.

HELP! Answer pls ^^

a tube train covers 432m from rest to rest in 1 minute. It first accelerates 1/3 m/s2 then goes uniformly and finally retards at 1 m/s2. Find the time taken in each of the three stages of the journey.

PLEASE HELP ^^ CONFUSED ON WHAT FORMULA AND HOW TY...

We don't just give out answers here, sorry. We help with homework. We do not do homework. I already made it through intro physics! In order to get help on this forum you are going to have to show some work, sorry. It's the rules. You must have know SOMETHING about the problem. If your that stuck with finding an equation to use, list what you know and what you want to find and find an equation that has those quantities in it. Give me your thoughts on the problem at least. I need something in order to best know what is stumping you.

Also, There is a special forum for homework questions, please post your future homework questions there.

Fair enough. Now, can you list the relevant kinematic equations that you should use for this problem? How should you apply them?
 

1. How do you solve a tube train journey and find the time in each stage?

To solve a tube train journey and find the time in each stage, you will need to first determine the starting and ending points of the journey. Then, you will need to identify the different stages or stops along the journey. Next, you can use a map or a schedule to calculate the time it takes to travel between each stage. Finally, add up the times for each stage to find the total time for the journey.

2. What factors should be considered when solving a tube train journey?

When solving a tube train journey, you should consider the distance between each stage, the speed of the train, and any delays or disruptions that may occur. You should also take into account the direction of the journey, as some routes may have different travel times depending on the direction of travel.

3. Can you use any specific tools or methods to solve a tube train journey?

Yes, there are various tools and methods you can use to solve a tube train journey. One option is to use a map or schedule provided by the transportation system. Another option is to use a calculator or a spreadsheet to help with calculations. You can also use online journey planners or apps that can provide real-time updates on train schedules and delays.

4. How accurate are the calculations when solving a tube train journey?

The accuracy of the calculations when solving a tube train journey depends on the accuracy of the data used. If the schedule or map is up-to-date and the train is running on time, the calculations should be relatively accurate. However, unexpected delays or changes in the schedule can affect the accuracy of the calculations.

5. Is it possible to solve a tube train journey without any external resources?

Technically, it is possible to solve a tube train journey without any external resources. However, this would require prior knowledge of the train schedule and the travel times between each stage. It would also require accurate timekeeping and a good understanding of the tube network. Using external resources such as maps and schedules can make the process more efficient and accurate.
