As a train accelerates from a station, it reaches a speed of 4.7m/s in 5.0s. If a train acceleration remains constant what is its speed after an additional 6.0s has elapsed?

You will have to assume that it started at speed = 0 at t = 0. The acceleration rate is therefore
a = 4.7/5.0 = 0.94 m/s^2

After 6.0 MORE seconds at the same acceleration rate, the speed will be
0.94 * 11 = 10.34 m/s

11 seconds is the total time from the start of motion.

drwls, so where did the 11 come from that you multiplied with 0.94?

six seconds is added to the original five seconds, time =11s
