A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0 m/s. Then the truck travels for 20.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the truck in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00 s. (a) How long is the truck in motion? (b) What is the average velocity of the truck for the motion described?

A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0 m/s. Then the truck travels for 20.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the truck in a uniform manner in an additional 6.00 s. What is the average speed of the truck for the motion described?
I am having trouble finding the average velocity of a truck in a problem. The problem states, "A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0 m/s. Then the truck travels for 60.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the truck in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00 s." I know that the truck is in motion for 75 seconds and I know that average velocity is displacement/time but I havent been able to get the right number.
A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 12.0 m/s.
