Attime £= 0, the car is at rest at the point 4, The car then accelerates uniformly for 5 seconds until it reaches a speed of Sms“ For the next 15 seconds the car travels at a constant speed of Sms~! The car then decelerates uniformly until it comes to rest at the point B. The total journey time is 30 seconds.
