Figure 1
Figure 1 shows the speed-time graph for the journey of a car moving in a long queue of
traffic on a straight horizontal road.
At time t = 0, the car is at rest at the point A.
The car then accelerates uniformly for 5 seconds until it reaches a speed of 5 m s −1
For the next 15 seconds the car travels at a constant speed of 5 m s −1
The car then decelerates uniformly until it comes to rest at the point B.
The total journey time is 30 seconds.
(a) Find the distance AB.
(3)
(b) Sketch a distance-time graph for the journey of the car from A to B.
