CSEC Physics · 1988 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)

A cyclist accelerates uniformly from rest to 10 m s⁻¹ in 4 s, maintains this speed for 24 s, and then decelerates uniformly to rest in 5 s.

On the axes provided, sketch a velocity-time graph to illustrate the girl's journey.

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