Also, through what distance does the car travel during this time?arrow_forwardA spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 220000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 7.51 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 7.51 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?arrow_forwardA commuter train travels between two downtown stations. Because the stations are only 1.00 km apart, the train never reaches its maximum possible cruising speed. During rush hour the engineer minimizes the time interval t between two stations by accelerating at a rate a1 = 0.100 m/s2 for a time interval t1 and then immediately braking with acceleration a2 = 0.500 m/s2 for a time interval t2.
