You start your bicycle ride at the top of a hill. You coast down the hill at a constant of 4.0 m/s2. When you get at the bottom of the hill, you are moving at 25m/s, and you pedal to maintain that speed. If you continue at this speed for 1 minute, how far will you have gone from the time you left the hilltop?
