Question 7

A train accelerates from rest at station A to a velocity of 28 m s-1. It maintains this speed for 84 seconds, until it decelerates uniformly to station B. The total journey time is 124 seconds and the magnitudes of the acceleration and deceleration are equal.

Find:

a.

the time it takes the train to accelerate from rest to 28 m s-1.

[2]
b.

sketch a velocity-time graph for the motion of the train between station A and station B.

[2]
c.

calculate the distance between the two stations.
