A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 91.0 km/h except for a 22.0 min rest stop. If the person's average speed is 73.4 km/h, how much time is spent on the trip and how
far does the person travel?

- A train accelerates uniformly from rest at station A to a maximum speed of 72 km/h. The constant maximum speed is maintained for a period of time and the train then decelerates uniformly until it comes to a stop at station B. The distance between the two railway stations is 22 km and the journey takes 20 minutes.
