5 The graph shows a model for the resultant horizontal force on a car, which varies as it accelerates from rest for 20 seconds. The mass of the car is 1200 kg .

- The acceleration of the car at time \(t\) seconds is \(a \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\). Show that
$$a = \frac { 2 } { 3 } + \frac { t } { 20 } , \text { for } 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 20$$
- Find an expression for the velocity of the car at time \(t\).
- Find the distance travelled by the car in the 20 seconds.
- An alternative model assumes that the resultant force increases uniformly from 900 to 2100 newtons during the 20 seconds. Which term in your expression for the velocity would change as a result of this modification? Explain why.
