Answer:
t = 3.414 s
s = 23.3 m
Explanation:
Let t be the total time of motion
Let s be the total distance of motion
s – s/2 = ½at² – ½a(t – 1²) = ½a(t² – (t – 1)²)
s/2 = ½a(t² – (t² – 2t + 1)) = ½a(t² – t² + 2t – 1)
s = a(2t – 1)
s = 4(2t – 1)
s = 8t – 4
8t – 4 = ½4t²
8t – 4 = 2t²
0 = 2t² – 8t + 4
0 = t² – 4t + 2
t = (4 ±√(4² – 4(1)(2))) / 2 = (4 ± √8)/2 = 2 ± √2
t = 3.414 s
or
t = 0.5857… s which we ignore because it does not have a full last second.
s = ½(4)3.414² = 23.3137… 23.3 m
