A train which is traveling at 73mi/hr applies its brakes as it reaches point A and slows down with a constant deceleration. Its decreased velocity is observed to be 56mi/hr as it passes a point 1/2mi beyond A. A car moving at 45mi/hr passes point B at the same instant that the train reaches point A. In an unwise effort to beat the train to the crossing, the driver "steps on the gas." Calculate the constant acceleration a that the car must have in order to beat the train to the crossing by 3.9sec and find the velocity v of the car as it reaches the crossing.
