उत्तर
(i) Initial speed of the car is 10 km/h
(ii) Maximum speed attained by the car is 35km/h
(iii) BC represents zero acceleration.
(iv) CD represents varying retardation.
(v) Distance travelled is given by the area enclosed within the curve. So,
Distance travelled = Area or trapezium + Area of rectangle
So distance travelled,
= (1/2)(8+5)(25) + (8)(10)
= 242.5 km
