Question: Chameleons catch insects with their tongues, which they can rapidly extend to great lengths. In a typical strike, the chameleon's tongue accelerates at a remarkable 230 m/s² for 20 ms, then travels at constant speed for another 30 ms.

Part A: During this total time of 50 ms, 1/20 of a second, how far does the tongue reach?

Please show your results in detailed calculations.
