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)
Ra = (0.028*wt)*(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
Ra = (0.028*wt)*(V2-V1)/(t) --> (0.028*1300)*(100-5)/(51)
Evaluating ... ...
Ra = 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
