The acceleration of the motorcycle follows the a-t graph shown. The motorcycle starts from rest at t0= 0 seconds, reaches its maximum velocity of 45 m/s, and drives at that velocity for 5 seconds. The driver then applies the brakes slowing the motorycle to an eventual stop. At what time does the motorcycle stop?arrow_forward
