Problem

A car starts moving rectilinearly, first with acceleration w=5.0 ms−2w = 5.0 \text{ ms}^{-2} (the initial velocity is equal to zero), then uniformly, and finally, decelerating at the same rate ww, comes to a stop. The total time of motion equals τ=25 s\tau = 25 \text{ s}. The average velocity during that time is equal to ⟨v⟩=72 km h−1\langle v \rangle = 72 \text{ km h}^{-1}. How long does the car move uniformly?
