Problem

A train moving on a level track at 90 km h−190\,\text{km h}^{-1} is brought to rest by applying brakes that provide uniform retardation. (i) Convert the initial speed of the train into SI units. (ii) If the train comes to rest in 12 s12\,\text{s}, calculate the magnitude of its retardation. (iii) Determine the distance the train travels while stopping.
