A car enters an onramp of a highway at 21.8 m/s and travels at a constant velocity for 3.63 s before speeding up to a final velocity of 32.1 m/s in 6.90 s to merge with highway traffic. The total time taken for the trip is 10.5 s. Assume the car doesn't have to change direction for this motion (1D motion).

Draw a picture of this motion and create a coordinate system

Please reverse the direction of your coordinate system. Which variable(s) must be changed due to this coordinate system reversal. Which variable(s) are not affected by this coordinate system change?
