Question

A drag racer starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 5.32 m/s2 in a straight line for 6.00 s. It subsequently maintains a constant velocity for 9.00 s. Afterward, it decelerates at a steady rate of 2.83 m/s2 for 4.00 s. What is the average acceleration of the car during the total trip? THE ANSWER IS C BUT EXPLAIN WHYA 0.838 m/s2 B 2.65 m/s2 C 4.79 m/s2 D 1.59 m/s2 E 2.52 m/s2
