here the acceleration and the time interval in all three parts is the same

 

part 1

the body starts from rest with acceleration 'a' and attains a velocity 'v1' after t = 5 seconds

so,

s1 = 0 + (1/2)at2  (1)

and 

v1 = 0 + at

or

v1 = at  (2)

 

part 2

the body has an initial velocity v1 and accelerates to v2 after t = 5seconds

so,

s2 = v1t + (1/2)at2

or from eq (2)

s2 = at.t + (1/2)at2

thus,

s2 = (3/2)at2    (3)

and

v2 = v1 + at

or

v2 = at + at = 2at  (4)

 

part 3

the body has an initial velocity 'v2' and accelerates to 'v3' after t = 5 seconds

so,

s3 = v2t + (1/2)at2

or from equation (4)

s3 = 2at.t + (1/2)at2

so

s3 = (5/2)at2     (5)

 

now from equations (1), (3) and (5) we confirm that

s1 = s2/3

and

s1 = s3/5

and

s2/s3 = 3/5

5s2 = 3s3

or

s2/3= s3/5

thus, finally we get

s1 = s2/3 = s3/5
