A tram starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration for 20 s. The tram then travels at a constant speed, \(V \text{ m s}^{-1}\), for 170 s before being brought to rest with a uniform deceleration of magnitude twice that of the acceleration. The total distance travelled by the tram is 2.775 km.
(a) Sketch a velocity-time graph for the motion, stating the total time for which the tram is moving. [2]
(b) Find \(V\). [2]
(c) Find the magnitude of the acceleration. [2]
