The acceleration of the body is 2 m/s^2 while the deceleration is - 1.2 m/s^2.
<h3>
What is the acceleration?</h3>
Let us recall that the acceleration is the change in the speed of a body with time. We have been told that the body accelerates for 3s and then decelerates to 2s. This implies that the total time that the object spent in motion is 5 s.
Thus;
v = u + at
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time taken
v - u/t = a
a = 6 - 0/3
= 2 m/s^2
Again;
v - u/t = a
a = 0 - 6/5
a = - 1.2m/s^2

Answer:
Negative work done of 30729.6 Joules
Explanation:
Since work done is dot product of force and displacement. so,
W= F.d
W= F d cosΘ
where Θ is the angle between force and displacement. Since resistive force and displacement makes an angle of 180 (as one is pointed east and other west). So,
W = (7.92)(1940)(cos (180)) (distance should be in meter)
W = 15364.8(-1)
W = -15364.8 (for going east)
Total work done will be twice of that as the resistive force and distance are same for the way back.
W = -15364.8 + (-15364.8)
W = -30729.6 Joules
