28. Trevor Tripoli is running at 2.76 m/s when he snags his foot on a tree root an falls to the ground. If he hits the
ground with the same velocity he was running at and slides to a stop in 0.76 seconds, what is his acceleration?
29. Draw a detailed graph of the following and then answer the question that follows.
A car starts from rest and accelerates with a constant positive acceleration of 2 m/s2 for 5 seconds. At t= 5s, the car travels
at a constant speed for 10 s. After the 10 seconds, the car moves with constant negative acceleration of -4 m/s2 for 10 s.
What is the car's final velocity and how far is it from its starting point?
