A little less straightforward example

 

OK, now suppose you have the same bicycling camel but you don't have a stop watch. Instead you can see the speedometer on the camel's bike. The camel passes ``go" at the same initial velocity of 4m/s and its acceleration is still tex2html_wrap_inline1500 .

So you notice that at some point the camel is going at 6m/s. At this point, how far is the camel from ``go"?

Hint: look at the final answers in the solution to the last example.
