Problem

A train starts from rest and covers the first 200 m200\,\text{m} with constant acceleration to reach a speed of 20 m s−120\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}. It then travels the next 300 m300\,\text{m} at this constant speed and finally comes to rest in 10 s10\,\text{s} with uniform deceleration. Calculate the total time taken for the entire journey.
