A car starts from rest and accelerates with a time‑dependent acceleration \(a(t)=k t\) (where \(k\) is constant). After 5 s its speed is 20 m s\(^{-1}\). The driver then applies a constant braking deceleration of \(4.0\;\text{m s}^{-2}\) until the car comes to rest. Determine (a) the total distance travelled from the start until the car stops, and (b) the average speed over the whole motion.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Total distance \approx 83.3\,m; average speed \approx 8.33\,m\,s^{-1}
B. Total distance \approx 75.0\,m; average speed \approx 7.5\,m\,s^{-1}
C. Total distance \approx 90.0\,m; average speed \approx 9.0\,m\,s^{-1}
D. Total distance \approx 68.0\,m; average speed \approx 6.8\,m\,s^{-1}
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
Total distance \approx 83.3\,m; average speed \approx 8.33\,m\,s^{-1}
