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.
