Homework Statement


I figured out the speed of the runner at t=2.0 seconds, but I am stuck on finding v of the runner at the end of the race.

Q: At the starting gun, a runner accelerates at 1.7 m/s^2 for 4.8 seconds. The runner's acceleration is zero for the rest of the race. what is the speed of the runner at the end of the race?
