Answer

$a_{t=8}=\frac{dv}{dt}=0$ m/s$^2$ $s_{t=8}=30$ m $a_{t=12}=-1$ m/s$^2$ $s_{t=12}=48$ m

Work Step by Step

At $t=8$ s $a=\frac{dv}{dt}=0$ m/s$^2$ $\Delta s = \int v dt$ $s-0=\frac{1}{2}(4)(5)+(8-4)(5)=30$ $s=30$ m At $t=12$ s $a=\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{-5}{5}=-1$ m/s$^2$ $\Delta s = \int v dt$ $s-0=\frac{1}{2}(4)(5)+(10-4)(5)+\frac{1}{2}(15-10)(5)-\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3}{5})(5)(\frac{3}{5})(5)$ $s=48$ m
