Question 1 Report
(a) Explain the terms:- uniform acceleration and average speed.
(b) A body at rest is given an initial uniform acceleration of 8.0ms\(^{-2}\) for 30s after which the acceleration is reduced to 5.0ms\(^{-2}\) for the next 20s. The body maintains the speed attained for 60s after which it is brought to rest in 20s. Draw the velocity-time graph of the motion using the information given above.
(c) Using the graph, calculate the: (i) maximum speed attained during the motion; (ii) average retardation as the body is being brought to rest; (iii) total distance travelled during the first 50s; (iv) average speed during the same interval as in (ii).
