7. Two small children, Ajaz and Beth, are running a 100 m race along a straight horizontal track. They both start from rest, leaving the start line at the same time.
Ajaz accelerates at \(0.8 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\) up to a speed of \(4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and then maintains this speed until he crosses the finish line.
Beth accelerates at \(1 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\) for \(T\) seconds and then maintains a constant speed until she crosses the finish line.
Ajaz and Beth cross the finish line at the same time.
- Sketch, on the same axes, a speed-time graph for each child, from the instant when they leave the start line to the instant when they cross the finish line.
- Find the time taken by Ajaz to complete the race.
- Find the value of \(T\)
- Find the difference in the speeds of the two children as they cross the finish line.
