On a straight highway, a car is moving initially at speed of 26.0 m/s. To pass another car, it accelerates at 3.80 m/s2 for 5.00 s, and then decelerates at -3.80 m/s2 for 5.00 s to get back to the original speed. a) (What was the top speed of the car while passing? b)How far down the highway did the car travel during the entire 10.00 s it took to pass? [Hint: The average velocity could be helpful.
