22PRACTICE PROBLEM
A car begins its journey from rest by accelerating at a rate of 0.15 m/s2 for 6.0 seconds. Afterwards, it maintains a constant speed for 80 seconds, and finally, it decelerates at a rate of -0.30 m/s2 for 3.0 seconds to come to a stop. Calculate the distance from the stopping location to where the car initially started its journey.
