Question 22

A train, moving with constant acceleration, passes through three points A, B and C, where AB=35mAB = 35\text{m}AB=35m and BC=65mBC = 65\text{m}BC=65m. The train passes through A with a speed of 5ms-1 and 8 seconds later passes through C. The acceleration of the train is 158ms−2\displaystyle \frac{15}{8}\text{ms}^{-2}815​ms−2.

Find the speed at which the train passes through B.
