3. At a certain moment, a car travelling at 40mph begins braking for a railroad crossing. Assume that the acceleration is constant (and negative!) and that 2 minutes later, the car comes to a stop, just before the crossing. (a) Find a formula for the velocity v(t) at any moment during the deceleration. (Hint: use units in terms of hours, and use (10 in Section 5.4.) (b) Determine how far away from the railroad crossing the car was when it began decelerating. (Hint: (9) in Section 5.4 should help.)

You purchase a used car. After handing over the cash, you drive it away from the lot, starting at rest and accelerating at 19.8 m/s2. After 16.9 s, the engine breaks down and it decelerates at 5.9 m/s2 until coming to a stop. How far were you able to drive the car? (Please answer down to the fourth decimal place- i.e 10.3456)
