A train starting from rest picks up a speed of $10\, m s ^{-1}$ in $100\, s$. It continues to move at the same speed for the next $250\, s$. It is then brought to rest in the nert $50\, s$. Plot a speed$-$time graph for the entire motion of the train.
$(i)$ acceleration of the train while accelerating,
$(ii)$ retardation of the train while retarding,
$(iii)$ and the total distance covered by the train.

$(i)$ acceleration of the train while accelerating,
$(ii)$ retardation of the train while retarding,
$(iii)$ and the total distance covered by the train.
The speed$-$time graph is as shown
$(i)$ Acceleration is equal to the slope of the graph
$AB =\frac{ BF }{ AF }=\frac{10}{100}=0.1 m s ^{-2}$
$(ii)$ Retardation is equal to the slope of the graph
$CD =\frac{ CE }{ DE }=\frac{10}{50}=0.2 m s ^{-2}$
$(iii)$ Distance covered during retardation Area of trapezium $ABCD$
$=\frac{1}{2}( AD + BC ) \times BF$
$=\frac{1}{2}(400+250) \times 10=3250 m$

The driver of a train $A$ travelling at a speed of $54\, km h^{-1}$ applies brakes and retards the train uniformly The train stops in $5\, s$. Another train $B$ is travelling on the parallel track with a speed of $36\, km h ^{-1}$. This driver also applies the brakes and the train retards uniformly. The train $B$ stops in $10\, s$. Plot speed time graph for both the trains on the same paper. Also, calculate the distance travelled by each train after the brakes were applied.
