The distance and uniform acceleration

A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed of 25 m/s. 25 \text{ m/s.} Initially they are side-by-side. Suddenly, the car driver notices a red light ahead and slows down with constant acceleration of 5.0 m/s 2 -5.0 \text{ m/s}^2 until it stops. The car remains stopped for 15 seconds. 15 \text{ seconds.} The light turns green, and the car begins to speed up with a constant acceleration of + 5.0 m/s 2 +5.0 \text{ m/s}^2 until it reaches its original speed of 25 m/s. 25 \text{ m/s.} During the same time interval, the train continues to travel at the constant speed 25 m/s. 25 \text{ m/s.} How far behind the train is the car after it has reached its original speed again?

750 m 500 m 250 m 1000 m
