A powered trolley travels in a straight line from loading point \(A\) towards a safety barrier at \(C\). It passes sensor \(B\) after \(4\) seconds. During this first stage, its velocity is \(v=10-t\text{ m s}^{-1}\). The barrier is \(9\) metres beyond \(B\). As soon as the trolley passes \(B\), emergency braking begins; \(T\) seconds later its acceleration is \(-3T\text{ m s}^{-2}\).
