An ice sled powered by a rocket engine starts from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at +15.0 m/s2. At tl = 2.8 s the rocket engine is shut down and the sled moves with constant velocity v. At the 7800 m mark, the sled begins to accelerate at -7 m/s2. What is the final position of the sled when it comes to rest? What is the final position of the sled when it comes to rest?

V1 = a*t = 15 * 2.8 = 42 m/s.
d1 = 0.5a*t^2 = 0.5*15*2.8^2 = 58.8 m.
V^2 = V1^2 + 2a*d = 0.
d = -V1^2/2a = -(42^2)/-7 = 252 m.
Final position = 7800 + 252 = 8052 m.
