Arecord of travel along a straight path is as follows:
1. start from rest with constant acceleration of 2.04 m/s2 for 11.0 s.
2. maintain a constant velocity for the next 2.85 min.
3. apply a constant negative acceleration of −9.73 m/s2 for 2.31 s.
(a) what was the total displacement for the trip?
(b) what were the average speeds for legs 1, 2, and 3 of the trip, as well as for the complete trip?
(c)complete trip:

a) Total displacement  = 3986.54 m

b) Average speeds

      Leg 1 ->  11.22 m/s

      Leg 2 ->  22.44 m/s

      Leg 3 ->  11.20 m/s

      Complete trip ->  21.63 m/s

Explanation:

a) Leg 1:

Initial velocity, u =  0 m/s

Acceleration , a = 2.04 m/s²

Time, t = 11 s

We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

   s= ut + 0.5 at²

    s = 0 x 11 + 0.5 x 2.04 x 11²

    s = 123.42 m

Leg 2:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u =  0 m/s

Acceleration , a = 2.04 m/s²

Time, t = 11 s

Substituting

   v = 0 + 2.04 x 11 = 22.44 m/s

We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u =  22.44 m/s

Acceleration , a = 0 m/s²

Time, t = 2.85 min = 171 s

Substituting

   s= ut + 0.5 at²

    s = 22.44 x 171 + 0.5 x 0 x 171²

    s = 3837.24 m

a) Leg 3:

Initial velocity, u =  22.44 m/s

Acceleration , a = -9.73 m/s²

Time, t = 2.31 s

We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

   s= ut + 0.5 at²

    s = 22.44 x 2.31 + 0.5 x -9.73 x 2.31²

    s = 25.88 m

Total displacement = 123.42 + 3837.24 + 25.88 = 3986.54 m

Average speed is the ratio of distance to time.

b) Leg 1:

 Leg 2:

Leg 3:

Complete trip:

the answer is to check all of them! they all apply well at least i think so!
