v = her speed c = current speed (v+c) * 2 = 10 (v-c) * 3 = 10 v + c = 5 = 15/3 v - c = 10/3 --------------subtract 2 c = 5/3 c = 5/6

average speed during constant acceleration = (end speed+start speed)/2 = (0 + 28.8)/2 = -14.4 m/s Now if you want the average force for the next part of the qustion F = d momentum/ d time = - mass of driver (28.8) /(.93/-14.4)
