\end{figure} Two fixed points, \(A\) and \(B\), are on a straight horizontal road.
The acceleration-time graph in Figure 2 represents the motion of a car travelling along the road as it moves from \(A\) to \(B\). At time \(t = 0\), the car passes through \(A\) with speed \(8 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\)
At time \(t = 20 \mathrm {~s}\), the car passes through \(B\) with speed \(v \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\)
  1. Show that \(v = 18\)
  2. Sketch a speed-time graph for the motion of the car from \(A\) to \(B\).
  3. Find the distance \(A B\).
