usual football tryout involves a player running a 40-yard dash. If a particular player finishes the dash in 4.25 seconds while reaching his maximum speed at the first 16 yard mark with a constant acceleration and then maintains that speed for the remainder of the run, determine this person’s acceleration over the first 16 yard, his maximum speed and how long he accelerated.
