Reconstruction of the corridor

Calculate how many minutes will be reduced to travel a 213 km long railway corridor, where the maximum speed increases from 120 km/h to 160 km/h.

Calculate how many minutes will shorten travel time if we consider that the train must stop at 6 stations. Each station with the equally slow 0.8 m/s2 and from station accelerates 0.45 m/s2?

What is the average speed before and after reconstruction if the train stays for 2 minutes at every station?

Consider that the intermediate stops are so long that the train will always reach the speed limit.

Correct answer:

t1 =  26.625 min
t2 =  24.3745 min
w1 =  102.0347 km/h
w2 =  126.6889 km/h
