Description: The motion of a jet plane just after landing on a runway is described by a piecewise constant acceleration–time graph with two segments: $a = -20$ ft/s² for $0 \le t \le 5$ s, and $a = -3$ ft/s² for $5\text{ s} \le t \le t'$. Given $s = 0$ ft and $v = 300$ ft/s at $t = 0$, determine the time $t'$ when the jet plane stops, and construct the $v$–$t$ and $s$–$t$ graphs.
