Answer:
a) Total displacement  = 3986.54 m
b) Average speeds
   Leg 1 ->  11.22 m/s
   Leg 2 ->  22.44 m/s
   Leg 3 ->  11.20 m/s
   Complete trip ->  21.63 m/s
Explanation:
a) Leg 1:
Initial velocity, u = Â 0 m/s
Acceleration , a = 2.04 m/s²
Time, t = 11 s
We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²
Substituting
  s= ut + 0.5 at²
  s = 0 x 11 + 0.5 x 2.04 x 11²
  s = 123.42 m
Leg 2:
We have equation of motion v = u + at
Initial velocity, u = Â 0 m/s
Acceleration , a = 2.04 m/s²
Time, t = 11 s
Substituting
  v = 0 + 2.04 x 11 = 22.44 m/s
We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²
Initial velocity, u = Â 22.44 m/s
Acceleration , a = 0 m/s²
Time, t = 2.85 min = 171 s
Substituting
  s= ut + 0.5 at²
  s = 22.44 x 171 + 0.5 x 0 x 171²
  s = 3837.24 m
a) Leg 3:
Initial velocity, u = Â 22.44 m/s
Acceleration , a = -9.73 m/s²
Time, t = 2.31 s
We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²
Substituting
  s= ut + 0.5 at²
  s = 22.44 x 2.31 + 0.5 x -9.73 x 2.31²
  s = 25.88 m
Total displacement = 123.42 + 3837.24 + 25.88 = 3986.54 m
Average speed is the ratio of distance to time.
b) Leg 1:
    [tex]v_{avg}=\frac{123.42}{11}=11.22m/s[/tex]
 Leg 2:
    [tex]v_{avg}=\frac{3837.24}{171}=22.44m/s[/tex]
Leg 3:
    [tex]v_{avg}=\frac{25.88}{2.31}=11.20m/s[/tex]
Complete trip:
    [tex]v_{avg}=\frac{3986.54}{11+171+2.31}=21.63m/s[/tex]
