Answer:
Total distance covered(s) = Distance during acceleration(s
1
) + distance during uniform motion(s
2
) + distance during retardation(s

For acceleration,
v=u+a∗t
v
max
=2×10=20 m/s
s=ut+(1/2)at

For uniform motion,
s=vt

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

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