Homework Statement
A car starts from rest at a stop sign. It accelerates at 2.0 m/s^2 for 6.0 seconds, coasts for 2.0 s, and then slows down at a rate of 1.5 m/s^2 for the next stop sign. How far apart are the stop signs?
Homework Equations
not sure.
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to split up this problem into 3 parts: from the first stop sign to after 6s when it begins to coast, when its coasting, and when it starts decelerating at the second stop sign. I think i figured out the first few parts, but how could i figure the displacement from the 3rd part? Thanks.
