Question 6

A cyclist completes a leg of a race. The speed-time graph for the journey is shown below.

  • The cyclist accelerates uniformly from rest to 8 m/s in 20 seconds20\text{ seconds}20 seconds.
  • They maintain a constant speed of 8 m/s until 100 seconds100\text{ seconds}100 seconds.
  • They then decelerate uniformly until coming to rest at time T secondsT\text{ seconds}T seconds.

The total distance covered by the cyclist is 1.2 km.

Speed-time graph showing uniform acceleration from rest to 8 metres per second at 20 seconds, constant speed until 100 seconds, then uniform deceleration to rest at time T.
