The graph consists of 5 straight line segments. The particle starts from rest at a point \(A\) at time \(t = 0\), and initially travels towards point \(B\) on the line.
  1. Show that the acceleration of the particle between \(t = 3.5\) and \(t = 6\) is \(- 10 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
  2. The acceleration of the particle between \(t = 6\) and \(t = 10\) is \(7.5 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\). When \(t = 10\) the velocity of the particle is \(V \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). Find the value of \(V\).
  3. The particle comes to rest at \(B\) at time \(T\) s. Given that the total distance travelled by the particle between \(t = 0\) and \(t = T\) is 100 m , find the value of \(T\).
