You are late for train. When you are 80.0 m from the rear of the train, it begins to pull out of the station with a constant acceleration of 0.100 m/s2.

(a) If you run at a constant speed of 5.00 m/s, will you catch the train? If so, how far will you have run when you reach the rear of the train? If not, how close will you get?

(b) Repeat part (a) if you are running at 3.00 m/s.

(c) What is the minimum constant speed you can run at and still catch up to the rear of the train? 

(d) Sketch the three situations on a position versus time graph and explain these. Explain with steps
