Answer:
Total distance covered(s) = Distance during acceleration(s
1
) + distance during uniform motion(s
2
) + distance during retardation(s
3
)
For acceleration,
v=u+a∗t
v
max
=2×10=20 m/s
s=ut+(1/2)at

s
1
=(1/2)×2×10

=100 m
For uniform motion,
s=vt
s

=20×200
=4000 m
During retardation,
v=u+at
0=20+50t
=−0.4 m/s

=ut+(1/2)at

=20×50+(1/2)×(−0.4)×50

=500 m
Total distance travelled, s=s1+s2+s3=100+4000+500=4600 m
Total time taken, t=t

=260 s
Average velocity, v

Total Distance
=4600/260=17.69 m/s
