6. A train travels for a total of 270 s along a straight horizontal track between two stations \(A\) and \(B\). The train starts from rest at \(A\) and moves with constant acceleration for 60 s until it reaches a speed of \(V \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The train then travels at this constant speed \(V \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) before it moves with constant deceleration for 30 s , coming to rest at \(B\).
- Sketch below a speed-time graph for the journey of the train between the two stations \(A\) and \(B\).
Given that the distance between the two stations is 4.5 km ,
- find the value of \(V\),
- find how long it takes the train to travel from station \(A\) to the point that is exactly halfway between the two stations.
The train is travelling at speed \(\frac { 1 } { 4 } V \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) at times \(T _ { 1 }\) seconds and \(T _ { 2 }\) seconds after leaving station \(A\).
- Find the value of \(T _ { 1 }\) and the value of \(T _ { 2 }\)
