It doesn't help much. Maybe I'm stupid. Or sleep deprived. Or just not cut out for physics (better change my major, hahha). Because all I can think is that obviously if acceleration is constant, the runner would continue to accelerate after reaching her maximum velocity. But I don't know how to...

Well. I suppose if I knew that, I'd have a bit of an easier time with the rest of my homework ):

I already know that the acceleration is a constant. That's stated in the problem...

I suppose so; I posted all the information that was given, and the formulas I listed are from the section in my book that's devoted to constant acceleration ("accelerating uniformly")... :|

Homework Statement in a women's 100-m race, accelerating uniformly, Laura takes 2.00 s and Healan 3.00 s to attain their maximum speeds, which they each maintain for the rest of the race. They cross the finish line simultaneously, both setting a world record of 10.4 s. What is the acceleration...
