You have a problem where you are given the initial position, the
initial velocity, and the initial acceleration for a kinematic
problem. You are also given the total time interval, and how
long the acceleration is at the initial value, and then how long
the acceleration is at a new value.
Since the acceleration changes in the middle of the problem,
your friend advises you to find the average acceleration and then
you can use the kinematic formulas from class to find the distance
covered over the entire time interval.
Should you follow their advice?
