Problem

A ball rolling along a straight track has a speed of 20 m/s20\,\text{m/s}. It slows down uniformly at 2 m/s22\,\text{m/s}^2 until its speed becomes 8 m/s8\,\text{m/s}. Immediately afterwards, it moves with a uniform acceleration of 3 m/s23\,\text{m/s}^2 in the same direction for 4 s4\,\text{s}. Calculate the total displacement of the ball from the instant it begins to slow down until the end of the 4 s4\,\text{s} acceleration.
