Three posts PPP, Q Q\,Q and RRR, are fixed in that order at the side of a straight horizontal road. The distance from P P\,P to Q Q\,Q is 45 m and the distance from Q Q\,Q to R R\,R is 120 m. A car is moving along the road with constant acceleration a m s−2a \text{ m s}^{-2}a m s−2. The speed of the car, as it passes PPP, is u m s−1u \text{ m s}^{-1}u m s−1. The car passes Q Q\,Q two seconds after passing PPP, and the car passes R R\,R four seconds after passing QQQ.
