During rush hour the engineer minimizes the travel interval Δt between the two stations by accelerating for a time interval Δt1 at a1 = 0.100 m/s2 and then immediately braking with acceleration a2 = -0.480 m/s2 for a time interval Δt2. Find the minimum time interval of travel Δt and the time interval Δt1.
