A particle, moving in a straight line with speed 4U m s−14U\text{ m s}^{-1}4U m s−1, decelerates uniformly for 4 seconds, which reduces its speed to U m s−1U\text{ m s}^{-1}U m s−1. It maintains this speed for a further 18 seconds before decelerating uniformly to rest in a further 2 seconds.
sketch a velocity-time graph for this information.
find an expression for each of the decelerations in terms of UUU.
Given the total distance is 203 m, find the value of UUU.
