The 2:00 pm train leaves station A on time and travels on a long straight track to station B
which is a distance 13.6 km away. It accelerates at 0.080 m s2 for 240 s. Then it travels
for a period of time at constant velocity. Finally, it decelerates at 0.055 m s2 until it
comes to a stop in station B.
(i) Calculate the position and velocity of the train at the end of the acceleration phase.
[4 marks]
(ii) Determine at what time the train reaches station B.
