Consider a car initially at rest, starts to move along a straight road first with acceleration 
, then with uniform velocity and finally, decelerating at 
, before coming to a stop. Total time taken from start to end is 
. If the average velocity during that time is 
, the car moved with uniform velocity for a time of
A
