The final velocity is 14.45 m/s
The racer continues at this velocity for to the finish line. If he was 300 m from the finish line when he started to accelerate, how much time in s did he save?
3.64 s
One other racer was 5.00 m ahead when the winner started to accelerate but he was unable to accelerate and traveled at 12.4 m/s until the finish line. How far ahead of him in meters did the winner finish?
