\section{Physics}\label{s:physics}
This section is mainly intended as a reference that is provided for convenience.
\subsection{Train acceleration}
\subsection{Movement}
This section will use $x$ as the position and \( s = \Delta x \) as the distance.
\begin{align*}
v(T) &= v_0 + \int_0^T a(t) dt \\
x(T) &= x_0 + \int_0^T v(t) dt \\
s(T) &= \Delta x = \int_0^T v(t) dt
\end{align*}
\subsubsection{Constant acceleration}
\begin{align*}
v(T) &= v_0 + \int_0^T a(t)dt = v_0 + aT \\
x(T) &= x_0 + \int_0^T v(t)dt = x_0 + v_0T + \frac{1}{2}aT^2 \\
s(T) &= v_0T + \frac{1}{2}aT^2
\end{align*}
In certain cases, the starting velocity $v_0$ and the target velocity $v_1$ are known:
\begin{align*}
t &= \frac{v_1 - v_0}{a} \\
s &= \frac{v_1^2 - v_0^2}{2a}
\end{align*}
\subsubsection{Acceleration of a train}
The acceleration of a train is calculate as follows:
\[a = a_{\text{all}} + a_{\text{locomotive}}\cdot\frac{n_{\text{locomotives}}}{n_{\text{wagons}}}\]
Please not that slopes are not taken into consideration.
With the following constants:

Please note that, as shown in the equation above, slopes are not taken into consideration.
The time needed to accelerate from $v_0$ to $v_1$ can be calculated as follows:
\[ t = \frac{v_1-v_0}{a} \]
The distance needed to accelerate from $v_0$ to $v_1$ can be calculated as follows:
\[ s = \frac{v_1^2 - v_0^2}{2a} \]
