Question 24

A train, moving with constant acceleration, passes through three points A, B and C, where AB=40mAB = 40\text{m}AB=40m and BC=60mBC = 60\text{m}BC=60m. The train passes through A with a speed of kms−1k\text{ms}^{-1}kms−1, where 0<k<503\displaystyle 0<k<\frac{50}{3}0<k<350​, and 6 seconds later passes through C.

a.

Find the acceleration of the train, in terms of kkk.

[3]
b.

Find the speed at which the train passes through B, in terms of kkk.

[3]
c.

Find the time it takes for the train to move between B and C, in terms of kkk.
