D is the distance you're looking for, a is the absolute value of your acceleration and T is the time (30 seconds)

it's the same formula you use to calculate how fast something will fall with gravity except you replace the A with the gravitational constant.

that makes any sense or am i just high?
that is a formula for the answer in Newton/second, you cant apply that in this context, unless you want to find the force of the train or something
