Problem

A car starts from rest, accelerates uniformly to 20 m s−120\,\text{m s}^{-1} in 5 s5\,\text{s}, continues at this speed for the next 10 s10\,\text{s} and finally comes to rest uniformly in 4 s4\,\text{s}. (i) Draw the velocity–time graph for the complete motion. (ii) Using the graph, calculate the total displacement of the car during the 19 s19\,\text{s} journey.
