A man drives a car a distance of 20km at an average speed of 44kmhr^-1. what must be his average speed for the next 220km if he is to cover the total distance in 9hours?

To get the average speed i had to first get the T1( as totaltime= T1 + T2)....do i have to add the average speed(V1 + V2?)

What is its acceleration with a proper sign? Keep 3 digits after the decimal point.

At t1 = 5.0s an object's velocity is v1 = 8.790m/s to the EAST, and at t2 = 11.0s its velocity is v2 = 17.730 m/s to the WEST. Assuming a constant accelerationTake EAST as the positive direction.
