Ok assuming I did this part right I think I got the rest of the question down. 11m/s * (11.5s - t) = 100 - (5.5t) so t = 4.81818181 Is that right? Thanks again for the help.

Thats what I though you meant, but that just makes me get d = 5.5t I'm sorry if I'm just missing something here my physics is really rusty

Thanks for the reply. I'm not entirely sure what "a in terms of t" means. I understand the rest of your post.

Homework Statement A sprinter reaches his top speed of 11m/s in t seconds from rest with essentially constant acceleration. If the maintains this speed once reached and covers the 100m distance in 11.5s, Find: a) the time it took to accelerate. b) his acceleration until he reaches...
