CSEC Additional Mathematics · 2014 · Paper 2 · Question 8(a)(i)

Figure 2 below, not drawn to scale, shows the motion of a car with velocity, V, as it moves along a straight road from Point A to Point B. The time, t, taken to travel from Point A to Point B is 90 seconds and the distance from Point A to Point B is 1410 m.

What distance did the car travel from Point A towards Point B before starting to decelerate?

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