A train with length L is moving towards a train station of length S with speed v.
The train starts to decelerate with acceleration −a as soon as head reaches the station until completely stops. Right after the train completely stops, it starts to accelerate with acceleration a until its tail leaves the station with speed v.
Which part of the train stays for the longest time in the station?
The correct answer is the mid-part of the train. If the head stays in the station for t and the mid-part of the train stays for √2t. Could anyone give me some clue on how to get this?
