Average speed = total distance traveled divided by total time. You need to find the total time taken, by considering that the time for each segment is the distance traveled divided by speed for that segment. Post back with your answer and we'll check it for you.

1. Acceleration = change in velocity divided by time. I suggest putting your answer in units of m/s^2.
2. Distance covered can be found from d = 1/2 a t^2

Do the math and post back with your answer.
