n traveling a distance of 3.3 km between points A and D, a car is driven at 86 km/h from A to B for t seconds and 42 km/h from C to D also for t seconds. If the brakes are applied for 4.8 seconds between B and C to give the car a uniform deceleration, calculate t and the distance s between A and B.
