Problem

A train starts from rest at a station. It accelerates uniformly at

0.6\,\text{m/s}^{2}

for

30\,\text{s}

, then travels at the speed it has reached for

60\,\text{s}

, and finally decelerates uniformly at

1.2\,\text{m/s}^{2}

until it comes to rest. Calculate the total distance covered by the train from start to finish. (a)

1620\,\text{m}

(b)

1485\,\text{m}

(c)

1215\,\text{m}

(d)

1755\,\text{m}
