A train accelerates from rest at station A to a velocity of 32 m s-1. It maintains this speed for 72 seconds, until it decelerates uniformly to station B. The distance between the two stations is 2944 m and the magnitudes of the acceleration and deceleration are equal.
Find:
the time it takes the train to accelerate from rest to 32 m s-1.
sketch a velocity-time graph for the motion of the train between station A and station B.
calculate the total journey time.
