A train travels from rest, going from station A to station B which is a distance of 2100      metres. For the first 20 seconds the train accelerates steadily, reaching a speed of   25  m/s . It maintains this speed until the brakes are applied and the train is brought to     rest with uniform deceleration over the last 125 metres.
