Referring to the figure, a truck drives a distance d=30.1m in the positive x direction in a time t1=17.2s, at which point the truck brakes, coming to rest in t2=8.13s. Part A: What is the truck's average velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, during the t1 time period? Part B: Assuming the truck started from rest and moved with a constant acceleration, what was the acceleration, in meters per suqared second, during the time interval t1? Part C: What was the truck's instananeous velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, when it began braking? And using the result from the previous answer, what was the truck's horizontal component of acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the braking period?
