(a) What is his final velocity (in m/s)? 16.15 m/s
(b) The racer continues at this velocity to the finish line. Ifhe was 300 m from the finish line when he started to accelerate,how much time (in s) did he save?
(c) One other racer was 5.00 m ahead when the winner started toaccelerate, but he was unable to accelerate and traveled at 13.2m/s until the finish line. How far ahead of him (in meters and inseconds) did the winner finish?
