A ride-sharing car moving along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 28.0 m/s. Then the vehicle moves for 41.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the vehicle in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00 s. (a) How long is the ride-sharing car in motion (in s)?
(b) What is the average velocity of the ride-sharing car for the motion described? (Enter the magnitude in m/s.)

Explanation:

Time taken to accelerate to 28 m /s

= 28 / 2 = 14 s

a ) Total length of time in motion

= 14 + 41 + 5

= 60 s .

b )

Distance covered while accelerating

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 0 + .5 x 2 x 14²

= 196 m .

Distance covered while moving in uniform motion

= 28 x 41

= 1148 m

distance covered while decelerating

v = u - at

0 = 28 - a x 5

a = 5.6 m / s²

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = 28² - 2 x 5.6 x s

s = 28² / 2 x 5.6

= 70 m .

Total distance covered

= 196 + 1148 + 70

= 1414 m

total time taken = 60 s

average velocity

= 1414 / 60

= 23.56 m /s .
