Chuck Wagon travel with a constant velocity of 0.98 miles/minute for 9.3 minutes. Chuck then decelerates at -0.11 miles/min/min for 1.8 minutes. Determine the total distance traveled by Chuck Wagon (in miles).

1 answer

recall that s = vt + 1/2 at^2
The total distance is thus

.98*9.3 + .98*1.8 - 0.11/2 * 1.8^2
