5. A car on a straight test track starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of \(V \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) in 6 seconds. The car maintains this speed for a further 50 seconds before decelerating to rest.
In a simple model of this motion, the acceleration and deceleration are assumed to be uniform and the magnitude of the deceleration to be 1.5 times that of the acceleration.
- Show that the total time for which the car is moving is 60 seconds.
- Sketch a velocity-time graph for this journey.
Given that the total distance travelled is 1320 metres,
- find \(V\).
In a more sophisticated model, the acceleration is assumed to be inversely proportional to the velocity of the car.
- Explain how the acceleration would vary during the first six seconds under this model.
