A bus starting from rest, accelerates at the rate of f through a distance S, then continues at constant speed for time t and declerates at the rate f/2 to come to rest. If the total distance travelled is 15 S then S =

`AB=S=(1)/(2)ft_(1)^(2)......(1)v=ft_(1)`
`BC=vt=(ft_(1))t......(2)`
`CD=(u^(2))/(2a)=((ft_(1))^(2))/(2(f//2))=2S......(3)`
`S=ft_(1)t+2S=15S`
`ft_(1)t=12S......(4)`
Dividing (4) by (1) `t_(1)=(t)/(6)`
Now (1) gives `S=(1)/(2)f""(t^(2))/(36) therefore S=(ft^(2))/(72)`

A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at a rate of 2 m s^(-2) for 10 s. It then maintains a constant speed for 200 s. The brakes are then applied and the train is uniformly retarded and comes to rest in 50 s. Find : (i) the maximum velocity reached, (ii) the retardation in the last 50 S, (iii) the total distance travelled, and (iv) the average velocity of the train.

A car starts moving on a straight road. It makes the entire journey in three parts. The total time of journey is 25 s. For first part it accelerates at a constant rate 5m//s^(2) . For second part it moves with a constant speed. For the third part it retards at constant rate 5m//s^(2) to come to rest. If the average speed for entire journey is 20 m/s, time period of first part of journey is
