CSEC Additional Mathematics · 2013 · Paper 2 · Question 8(a)(i)

A particle starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 20 m s⁻¹ in 5 seconds. It continues at this velocity for 10 seconds. It then accelerates again uniformly to a velocity of 60 m s⁻¹ in 5 seconds. The particle then decelerates uniformly until it comes to rest, 15 seconds later.

On the graph paper provided, draw a velocity-time graph to illustrate the motion of the particle.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
