The diagram shows a velocity-time graph which models the motion of a car. The graph consists of four straight line segments. The car accelerates at a constant rate of \(2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\) from rest to a speed of \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) over a period of \(T \mathrm {~s}\). It then decelerates at a constant rate for 5 seconds before travelling at a constant speed of \(V \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) for 27.5 s . The car then decelerates to rest at a constant rate over a period of 5 s .
- Find \(T\).
- Given that the distance travelled up to the point at which the car begins to move with constant speed is one third of the total distance travelled, find \(V\).
