    This is a Junior Cert Forum, don't expect answers here, mods will move the thread to the LC forum where you'll get some answers :)

    The acceleration f is equal to the deceleration. Since it accelerates to a certain speed, then stays at that speed for t1 seconds, the remaining time (for both acceleration and deceleration) is t-t1 (where t is the total time). Since the rate of acceleration and deceleration are equal, the remaining time is split equally between the two, giving 1/2(t-t1) for acceleration and 1/2(t-t1) for deceleration.

    E: Also, please post a link to the marking scheme with the page number next time, it'll make it easier for people trying to help you.
