18\,\text{m/s}

. It slows down uniformly at

3\,\text{m/s}^2

until its speed becomes

6\,\text{m/s}

. Immediately after that, it continues along the same direction with a uniform acceleration of

1\,\text{m/s}^2

for

10\,\text{s}

. Determine: (i) the distance covered while slowing down. (ii) the total distance covered during the whole motion.
