After a big snowfall, you take your favorite rocket‑powered sled out to a wide field. The field is 209 m across, and you know that your sled accelerates at a rate of 3.25 m/s^2 when the rocket is on.   a) How much time will it take the sled to cross the field starting from rest, assuming the rocket is on the whole time in seconds?   b) How fast will the sled be moving when it reaches the other end of the field in m/s?   c) How fast will the sled be moving when it is halfway across the field in m/s
