Expert Answer:
Using the equation of kinematics for velocities, acceleration and displacement,
At the velocity at the mid-point of the train is vm
and that can be found using the same kinematical equation.
At the midpoint, the 'u' is zero and the displacement made is,
sm , such that sm = s/2.
Using equation (a) and (b)
Hence it is proved that the velocity of a train at its midpoint is the square root of half of the difference of the squares of their final and initial velocity.
