Johnson drove east for 3 seconds with a rate of 5 meters per second. He then took a quick turn to 500° West of North with the same speed. After 2 seconds in the same direction, he started accelarating with a rate of 2 m/s for about a second before hitting Gusion. Find the distance (in meters) travelled by Johnson.
