A motorcycle starts from rest and accelerates. The graph below shows how the velocity of the motorcycle changes during the first 6 seconds of its journey.

A graph of velocity against time. The vertical axis represents Velocity in m/s, from 0 to 24, with grid lines every 2 units. The horizontal axis represents Time in seconds, from 0 to 6, with grid lines every 1 second. A bold black line starts at the origin (0,0), climbs steadily to a point at time = 4 seconds and velocity = 20 m/s, and then runs horizontally at a constant velocity of 20 m/s from 4 seconds to 6 seconds.

a.

After 4 seconds, the total momentum of the motorcycle and rider is 5000 kg m/s5000\text{ kg m/s}5000 kg m/s. Calculate the total mass of the motorcycle and rider.

b.

Determine the total distance travelled by the motorcycle during the first 6 seconds of the journey.
