A particle, moving in a straight line, decelerates uniformly, from a speed 5Ums−15U\text{ms}^{-1}5Ums−1, for 6 seconds which reduces its speed to 2Ums−12U\text{ms}^{-1}2Ums−1. It maintains this speed for a further 16 seconds before decelerating uniformly to rest in a further 2 seconds.

a.

Sketch a velocity-time graph for this information.

[2]
b.

Find an expression for each of the decelerations in terms of U.

[4]
c.

Given the total distance is 220m, find the value of U.
