3. A police cruiser is travelling at 20.0 m/s when the officer spies a speeder. The cruiser accelerates at 3.0 m/s² for 5.0 seconds, at which time the speeder pulls over and starts thinking up excuses to try and get out of getting a ticket. The cruiser then slows to a stop at 5.0 m/s². How far does it go in the entire time?\
