Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that,

a)

In the first case

The velocity of the car is constant and it is v1=92m/s

b)

In the first case

After time t=12s

At the distance x=L2

where L is the length of the track

The velocity of the car is v2=-92m/s

Where the negative sign indicates that the direction is left and the positive sign indicates that the direction is right.

 

To find the average acceleration of both cases.
