The Deep Dive
During the direction change, the train experiences a negative acceleration (deceleration) as it slows down and then reverses direction. To find the acceleration, we apply the formula:
The initial velocity (just before the change) is
(moving backwards) and the final velocity is
(moving west). The time taken for this change is 1 second. Therefore, the acceleration during the change is
However, since the question only really asks about the backward direction, we actually will see the passage of motion by considering the distance of how far it traveled.
To calculate displacement, we need to aggregate the displacement from both parts of the journey.
- For the first movement (West):
- In the backward movement (after 1 second the train starts moving backward), it moves:
Now, adding them both:
The correct answer would be:
The acceleration during the direction change is
and the total displacement is
.
So from the provided options, the closest reasonable results cannot be found here, so perhaps there was miscalculation in communicating these options.
