A car, starting from rest, accelerates at the rate $\alpha$ through a distance $d$, then continues at a constant speed for time $t$ and then decelerates at the rate of $\alpha/2$ to come to rest. If the total distance traveled is $15\, d$, then $d=$

  • A

    $d = \frac{1}{2}\, \alpha \, t^2$

  • B

    $d = \frac{1}{4}\, \alpha \, t^2$

  • C

    $d = \frac{1}{72}\, \alpha \, t^2$

  • D

    $d = \frac{1}{6}\, \alpha \, t^2$
