help! please write the complete solutions. Thumbs-up willl be given! DYNAMICS OF RIGID BODIES! A subway car leaves station A; it gains speed at the rate of 4ft /s2 for 6 s and then at the rate of 6ft /s2 until it has reached the speed of 48 ft/s. The car maintains the same speed until it approaches station B; brakes are then applied, giving the car a constant deceleration and bringing it to a stop in 6 s. The total running time from A to B is 40s. Determine the distance between stations A and B.

Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth’s rotation to once per 29 h by exerting a force parallel to the equator, opposing the rotation. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4.15 × 107 N. For the purposes calculations in this problem you should treat the Earth as a sphere of uniform density even though it isn't. a. How long, in seconds, must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (This period gives Superman time to devote to other villains.)
