Answer

$$ \begin{aligned} & s=0.4 t^2 \\ & v=\frac{d s}{d t}=0.8 t \\ & a=\frac{d v}{d t}=0.8 \\ & s=24(t-30)+360 \\ & v=\frac{d s}{d t}=24 \\ & a=\frac{d v}{d t}=0 \end{aligned} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \begin{aligned} & 0 \leq t \leq 30: \\ & s=0.4 t^2 \\ & v=\frac{d s}{d t}=0.8 t \\ & a=\frac{d v}{d t}=0.8 \\ & 30 \leq t \leq 40: \\ & s-360=\left(\frac{600-360}{40-30}\right)(t-30) \\ & s=24(t-30)+360 \\ & v=\frac{d s}{d t}=24 \\ & a=\frac{d v}{d t}=0 \end{aligned} $$
