Starting from rest at home plate, a baseball player runs to first base (90 ft away). He uniformly accelerates over the first 12.5 ft to his maximum speed, which is then maintained until he crosses first base. If the overall run is completed in 3.7 seconds, determine his maximum speed, the acceleration over the first 12.5 feet, and the time duration of the acceleration. t = 0 Ä & Answers: Vmax a= 12.5 t = i i i 77.5' t = 3.7 sec ft/sec ft/sec² sec
