 A car is sitting at a red light on a long

A car is sitting at a red light on a long straight road. When the light turns green, the car speeds up at a constant rate for 4.0 seconds. during which it travels 32m. At this point in time the car is now traveling at the road's speed limit, so it then duits accelerating and drives 80m more at a constant velocity. The car then sees some trafc ahead. applies the breaks. and slows down at a constant rate of 2mj's2 for 6 seconds. A. What is the car's acceleration while it is speeding up? B. What is the road's initial speed limit? C. How long does the car travel at a constant velocity? D. What is the car's speed after it applies the breaks for 6 seconds? E. How far does the car travel while applying the breaks
