Answer:The train travels 105 meters after applying the brakes

Explanation:If he decelerates 1.5 every minute, then he went from 28,5 m/s, to 27.0 m/s, to 25.5 m/s, to 24.0 m/s, after 4 seconds. Add all this together and youll get 105 meters moved in 4 seconds after he hit the brakes, I dont have a notebook on me though sorry :/
