Resistance due to Acceleration Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Resistance due to Acceleration = (0.028*Weight of Train)*(Final Velocity of The Train-Initial Velocity of Train)/(Time Taken to Achieve Final Velocity)
R_a = (0.028*w_t)*(V₂-V₁)/(t)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Resistance due to Acceleration - Resistance due to Acceleration is the resistance offered by train during acceleration of train.
Weight of Train - (Measured in Tonne) - Weight of Train is representing the amount of matter in a object(train).Here it is given in tonnes.
Final Velocity of The Train - (Measured in Kilometer per Hour) - Final Velocity of The Train is the required velocity of the train after some time t.
Initial Velocity of Train - (Measured in Kilometer per Hour) - Initial Velocity of Train is the velocity at the starting.
Time Taken to Achieve Final Velocity - (Measured in Second) - Time Taken to Achieve Final Velocity from initial velocity in seconds.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Train: 1300 Tonne --> 1300 Tonne No Conversion Required
Final Velocity of The Train: 100 Kilometer per Hour --> 100 Kilometer per Hour No Conversion Required
Initial Velocity of Train: 5 Kilometer per Hour --> 5 Kilometer per Hour No Conversion Required
Time Taken to Achieve Final Velocity: 51 Second --> 51 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_a = (0.028*w_t)*(V₂-V₁)/(t) --> (0.028*1300)*(100-5)/(51)

Evaluating ... ...

R_a = 67.8039215686274

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

67.8039215686274 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

67.8039215686274 ≈ 67.80392 <-- Resistance due to Acceleration
