A usual football tryout involves a player running a 40-yard dash. If a particular player finishes the dash in 4.25 seconds while reaching his maximum speed at the first 16 yard mark with a constant acceleration and then maintains that speed for the remainder of the run, determine this person’s acceleration over the first 16 yard, his maximum speed and how long he accelerated. SET YOUR OWN VARIABLES AS YOU SEE FIT.
