7. In this question, s represents displacement in metres, and t represents time in seconds.

ds
(a) The velocity v m s–1 of a moving body may be written as v = = 30 – at, where a is a
dt
constant. Given that s = 0 when t = 0, find an expression for s in terms of a and t.

Trains approaching a station start to slow down when they pass a signal which is 200 m from
the station.

(b) The velocity of Train 1 t seconds after passing the signal is given by v = 30 – 5t.

(i) Write down its velocity as it passes the signal.

(ii) Show that it will stop before reaching the station.

(c) Train 2 slows down so that it stops at the station. Its velocity is given by
ds
v= = 30 – at, where a is a constant.
dt

(i) Find, in terms of a, the time taken to stop.

(ii) Use your solutions to parts (a) and (c)(i) to find the value of a.
