-------*34 In Fig.2-27, a red car and a green car, identical except for the color, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x axis. At time t = 0, the red car is at x, = 0 and the green car is at x, = 220 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 20 km/h, the cars pass each other at x = 44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of 40 km/h, they pass each other at x = 76.6 m. What are (a) the initial velocity and (b) the constant acceleration of the green car?-----I GOT THIS PART!!! THIS IS A REFERENCE.

3. ि Ferrari is one of the fastest hypercars commercially produced, capable of reaching a speed of over 340 km/h. Some time at the race, its velocity is recorded at a whopping 358 km/h. If it accelerates at a constant rate of 7 km/hr², how long would it take to finish the race from the moment its velocity was recorded up to the finish line, which is 4500km long?
4) It is known that from t = 2 s to t = 10 s the acceleration of a particle is inversely proportional to the cube of the time t. When t 2 s, v = -15 m/s, and when t 10s., v 0.36 m/s. Knowing that the particle is twice as far from the origin when t 2s as it is when t 10 s, determine (a) the position of the particle when t 2 s and when t = 10 s, (b) the total distance traveled by the particle from t 2 s to tt = 10 s.
