Draw a velocity-time diagram as shown below.
Because a velocity of 26.82 m/s is attained in 4.00 s from rest, the average acceleration is
a = 26.82/4 = 6.705 m/s²
The time required to reach maximum velocity of 82.1 m/s is
t₁ = (82.1 m/s)/(6.705 m/s²) = 12.2446 s
The distance traveled during the acceleration phase is
s₁ = (1/2)at₁²
= (1/2)*(6.705 m/s²)*(12.2446 s)²
= 502.64 m
Answer:
The time required to reach maximum speed is 12.245 s
The distance traveled during the acceleration phase is 502.6 m
