assume that usain bolt is running the 400m race, if he has the same average speed from above for the first 100m and then begins decelerate at a rate of -0.2 m/s^2 until the end of the race. how long dose it take him to finish the race

23.36 mph is correct for the first.

time for the last 300 m:
vf=vi+at
0=100/9.58-.2t solve for t, the time for the last 300 yards. I don't know if you want the entire 400 yards, or the last 300.
