A motorcycle starts from rest when t = 0 and travels along a straight road at a constant velocity of 7.0 ft/s² until it reaches a speed of 60 ft/s. Then it maintains this speed. Also, when t = 0, a car located 6000 ft from the motorcycle is traveling toward the motorcycle at a constant speed of 40 ft/s. Determine the time when they intersect.

The brakes are applied to a moving car, causing it to uniformly slow down. While slowing, it moves a distance of 40.0 m in 7.00 s to a final velocity of 2.05 m/s, at which point the brakes are released. a) What was its initial speed (in m/s), just before the brakes were applied? b) What was its acceleration (in m/s2) while the brakes were applied? (Assume the initial direction of motion is the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) I tried to solve both, but i cannot seem to get the correct answer. please explain
