AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will analyze the motion of the train during the two phases: acceleration and deceleration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion Phases**: - The train starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate \( a \) for a time \( t_1 \). - After that, it decelerates (retards) at a constant rate \( b \) for a time \( t_2 \) until it comes to rest. ...
