Chapter 11.3, Problem 11.86P
Two road rally checkpoints A and B are located on the same highway and are 8 mi apart. The speed limits for the first 5 mi and the last 3 mi are 60 mi/h and 35 mi/h, respectively. Drivers must stop at each checkpoint, and the specified time between points A and B is 10 min 20 s. Knowing that the driver accelerates and decelerates at the same constant rate, determine the magnitude of her acceleration if she travels at the speed limit as much as possible.

Two highway checkpoints A and B are separated by 12 km. The speed limits for the first 8 km and the last 4 km are 100 km/h and 70 km/h, respectively. Drivers must stop at each checkpoint and the specified time between A and B is 8 min and 20 seconds. Knowing that a car accelerates and decelerates at the same constant value, determine the magnitude of its acceleration if the speed limit is traveled as much as possible.

A commuter train traveling at 40 mi/h is 3 mi from a station. The train then decelerates so that its speed is 20 mi/h when it is 0.5 mi from the station. Knowing that the train arrives at the station 7.5 min after beginning to decelerate and assuming constant decelerations, determine (a) the time required for the train to travel the first 2.5 mi, (b) the speed of the train as it arrives at the station, (c) the final constant deceleration of the train.
