The velocity-time graph below shows the motion of an automated guided vehicle (AGV) in a manufacturing plant. At time t=0t = 0t=0 seconds, the vehicle receives a shutdown signal. Due to signal latency, there is a delay before the physical brakes are applied. Once engaged, the brakes bring the AGV to a complete stop by decelerating it at a constant rate.

Velocity-time graph of the AGV

The braking distance (the distance travelled while the brakes are actively engaged) is 28 m28\text{ m}28 m.

Calculate the initial velocity VVV of the AGV.

Use the graph.
