A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly for 5 s, then travels at the attained constant speed for 10 s, and finally decelerates uniformly to rest in 4 s. The total distance covered during the whole motion is 500 m. (i) Find the magnitude of the initial acceleration \(a\) (in m s\(^{-2}\)). (ii) Determine the maximum speed reached by the car (in m s\(^{-1}\)).

Answer Options

A. a = 7.5 m/s², v_max = 32.0 m/s

Correct Answer C. a = 6.9 m/s², v_max = 34.5 m/s
D. a = 5.0 m/s², v_max = 30.0 m/s
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
a = 6.9 m/s², v_max = 34.5 m/s
