- The citizen leaves a city at 3:00 p.m. It travels at 36.0 m / s when the engine of its car stops. During the next twelve seconds, the car slows down and its average acceleration is a1. Over the next six seconds, the car slows down even further, and its average acceleration is a2. The speed of the car is 28.0 m / s. The ratio of the average acceleration values is a1 / a2 = 1.50.
