23 The diagram below shows the speed-time graph of a particle. The particle started off from Use
rest and accelerated uniformly for 10 seconds. It then travelled at a constant speed for 20
seconds and then decelerated to rest.

Speed
(m/s)

10 30 t time (sec)

(a) Find the speed V the particle reached if its acceleration was 2m/s2 in the first 10
seconds.
(b) Given that the total distance covered was 750m, find the value of t in the diagram.
(c) what was the speed at 40 seconds?
