A Ford passes a Toyota on the road (both vehicles are traveling in the same direction). The Ford moves at a constant speed of 35.4 m/s. Just as the Ford passes it, the Toyota is traveling at 12.2 m/s. As soon as the Ford passes the Toyota, the Toyota begins to accelerate forward at a constant rate. Meanwhile the Ford just keeps going at a steady 35.4 m/s to the east. The Toyota catches up to the Ford a distance of 114.8 m ahead of where the Ford first passed it. What was the magnitude of the Toyota s acceleration?     14.3 m/s^2     4.8 m/s^2     7.2 m/s^2     2.4 m/s^2
