I need answer asap. Tysm!
A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 6.8 m/s2 which decreases linearly with time to zero in 9.1 seconds, after which the car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required for the car to travel 360 m from the start.
A car with an unknown initial velocity accelerates over the course of 6.00 s to a velocity of 30.0 m/s, after which the car continues at a constant velocity for another 4.00 s.
