1 A race car starting from rest moves along a straight track with an acceleration as shown
in the graph (where for t 10 s, a = 8 m/s2). Determine the time t for the car to reach a
speed of 50 m/s.

2 A car, initially at rest, moves along a straight road with constant acceleration such that
it attains a velocity of 60 ft/s when s = 150 ft. Then after being subjected
to another constant acceleration, it attains a final velocity of 100 ft/s when s = 325 ft.
Determine the average velocity and average acceleration of the car for the entire 325-ft
displacement.
