Question

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. when the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. the blue car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 4 m/s2 for 4.8 seconds. it then continues at a constant speed for 10.9 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car's speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 285.31 meters from where it started. the yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the blue car comes to a stop.

Answer 1

Total distance blue car moves = 353m. The yellow car has been accelerating the entire time, 22.056s. 
3) Yellow car acceleration = (2d/t^2), = (706/ 486.467), = 1.45m/sec^2.
