24. A racing motorcycle started from rest and moved with a constant acceleration ot” 1 m/s2for 15 seconds. lt then accelerated at 3.5 m/s2 for the next 10 seconds and maintained a constant speed for the next 10 seconds. It decelerated constantly and came to rest after 25 seconds.
(a) On the grid provided, draw the velocity—time graph for the motorcycle. (4 marks)
(b) Use the graph to determine:scale acceleration parts constant speed deceleration
