A car starts from 2.0 m/s and accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 6.0 s, it coasts for 5.0 s, and then slows down at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 to a stop. How far has it traveled, in meters?
Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the
question statement.
