Question 5:
The diagram shows the speed-time graph of a car. The car starts from rest and attain a
speed of 40 m/s in 14 seconds. It then moves with constant speed for 20 seconds and
then slows down at a steady rate to stop at T seconds. The total distance travelled by the
car is 1480 m.
Answers:
1 1
a) 1480 = ( × 14 × 40) + (20 × 40) + ( × 40 × 𝑏)
