Problem

Runner A begins a sprint along a straight track with an initial speed of 5 m/s5\,\text{m/s} and accelerates uniformly until his speed becomes 9 m/s9\,\text{m/s} after covering a distance of 70 m70\,\text{m}. The runner then maintains the same acceleration for an additional 3 s3\,\text{s}. (i) Calculate the time taken by Runner A to cover the first 70 m70\,\text{m}. (ii) Determine the magnitude of his acceleration. (iii) Find the additional distance covered during the next 3 s3\,\text{s} while the same acceleration continues.
