The average acceleration    is  .

Acceleration    .

    when    t   =   3   sec.

Since   Q’s acceleration,   for all t   in  0   ≤   t   ≤   5,  is  the slope   of  its

velocity    graph,  

Find    the distance    each    auto    has traveled.   For P,  the distance    is

For auto Q, the distance is the total area of the triangle and trapezoid
under the velocity graph shown below, namely,

Auto    P   won the race.
