The driver of a train $A$ travelling at a speed of $54\, km\, h^{-1}$ applies brakes and retards the train uniformly. The train stops in $5\, s$. Another train $B$ is travelling on the parallel track with a speed of $36\, km\, h^{-1}$. This driver also applies the brakes and the train retards uniformly. The train $B$ stops in $10\, s$. Plot the speed-time graph for both the trains on the same paper. Also,calculate the distance travelled by each train after the brakes were applied.
