Racing Markers#

A semi-truck accelerates uniformly from rest along a straight track towards the left. The track has five markers: Start, and Markers 1-4. Each marker is equally spaced so Marker 2 is halfway between Start and Marker 4. The semi-truck reaches a speed of 69 m/s as it passes the last marker, Marker 4.
