A subway train starts from rest at a station and accelerates at a rate of 1.60m/s2 for 13.2s . It runs at constant speed for 71.0s and slows down at a rate of 3.48m/s2 until it stops at the next station.
Find the total distance covered in km

Explanation / Answer

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*x vf = at + v0 v0 = 0 vf = a*t t = 1 vf = a a^2 = 2*a*x a^2 = 2a*4 a^2 = 8a a^2 -8a = 0 a*(a - 8) = 0 a = 8 m/s2 x(t) = 4t^2 x(1) = 4 x(2) = 16 16 -4 = 12 meters
