Answer

$$ \begin{aligned} & v_{\max }=100 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\ & t^{\prime}=40 \mathrm{~s} \end{aligned} $$

Work Step by Step

$v-t$ Function. The $v-t$ function can be determined by integrating $d v=a d t$. For $0 \leq t<15 \mathrm{~s}, a=6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$. Using the initial condition $v=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ at $t=0$, $$ \begin{aligned} & \int_{10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}^v d v=\int_0^t 6 d t \\ & v-10=6 t \\ & v=\{6 t+10\} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned} $$ The maximum velocity occurs when $t=15 \mathrm{~s}$. Then $$ v_{\max }=6(15)+10=100 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} $$ For $15 \mathrm{~s}
