When last we left our friend Wile E. Coyote (SuperGenius), was peeling himself off a canyon wall and none the worse for wear. This time, he has obtained an Acme^ TM rocket-powered dragster with the AcmeTM Premium Parachute Braking System (patent pending)Starting from restthe dragster accelerates at a constant rate of 36.4 m/s ^ 2 for 14 seconds. At this point, the coyote realizes that he has passed the Road Runner and so he instantly cuts off the engine and deploys his braking system - which doesn't work. He therefore travels an additional distance of 1800 m at constant velocity until again becoming one with a canyon wall. Determine: (a) The total time for Wile E. Coyote's motion described above; on (b) The total distance covered by Wile E. Coyote's motion described above ; (c) The average velocity for Wile E. Coyote's motion described above.
