  1. A car accelerates uniformly from rest for 20 seconds. It moves at constant speed \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) for the next 40 seconds and then decelerates uniformly for 10 seconds until it comes to rest.
    1. For the motion of the car, sketch
      1. a speed-time graph,
      2. an acceleration-time graph.
    Given that the total distance moved by the car is 880 m ,
  2. find the value of \(v\).
