    Extra Credit:
    A car enters an intersection at 25 m/s where it collides with a truck.
    The car was in contact with the truck for 1.25 s.
    This impact gives the car a 15 m/s constant magnitude of velocity
    (This speed remains the same during rotation) and rotates the car with the angle of
    𝜃(𝑡) = (𝑡 2 + 22𝑡)° if it was in contact with the truck for 1.25 s.

    Determine the average acceleration of the car during this rotation:


    (Magnitude(5pts) and direction (5pts))
