A train travelling along a straight track starts from rest at point A and accelerates uniformly to 10 m si in 20 s. It travels at this speed for 60 s, then slows down uniformly to rest in 40 sat point C. It stays at rest at C for 30 s, then reverses direction, accelerating uniformly to 5 ms. in 10 s. It travels at this speed for 30 s, then slows down uniformly to rest in 10 s when it reaches point B. 1. Plot a graph of the motion of the train.
II. Use your graph to calculate:
III. the train's displacement from point A when it reaches point C
IV. the train's displacement from point A when it reaches point 13
V. the train's acceleration each time its speed changes.
