Problem

A cyclist starts from rest and reaches a speed of 30 m/s30\,\text{m/s} in 10 s10\,\text{s} with uniform acceleration. He then maintains this speed for another 5 s5\,\text{s}. Determine (i) the acceleration during the first 10 s10\,\text{s} (ii) the displacement during the first 10 s10\,\text{s} (iii) the total displacement in the whole 15 s15\,\text{s}
