A light-rail train going from one station to the next on a straight section of track accelerates from rest at 1.1 m/ s^2 for 20 s. It then proceeds at constant speed for 1100 m before slowing down at 2.2 m\s ^2 until it stops at the station.
a. What is the distance between the stations?
b. How much time does it take the train to go between the stations?
