Question
Q3/A subway traveling at 40 km/hr
decelerates as it reaches point A and
slows down with a constant
deceleration. Its reduced velocity is
noted to be 30 km/hr as it passes
point C. A vehicle which is moving
at 25 km/hr passes point B at the
same instant that the subway
reaches point A. In an unwise effort
to beat the subway to the crossing,
the driver "steps on the gas." (a)
