A sprinter practicing for the 200-m dash accelerates uniformly from rest at A and reaches a top speed of 40 km/h at the 53-m mark. He then maintains this speed for the next 79 meters before uniformly slowing to a final speed of 33 km/h at the finish line. Determine the maximum horizontal acceleration which the sprinter experiences during the run. Where does this maximum acceleration value occur? Finish line 39.9 m A
