A horse gallops along a 600 m course. The total time taken to finish the course is 40.2 s. The horse accelerates from rest for the first 6 seconds until it reaches its maximum speed, which it then maintains until the finish line. Below is a sketch of the speed-time graph for the horse.
Work out the maximum speed reached by the horse during the gallop.
Calculate the distance covered by the horse during its 6-second acceleration phase.
