The diagram shows the velocity-time graphs for the motion of two cyclists P and Q, who travel in the same direction along a straight path. Both cyclists start from rest at the same point O and both accelerate at 2 m s-2 up to a speed of 10 m s-1. Both then continue at a constant speed of 10 m s-1. Q starts his journey T seconds after P.

  1. Show in a sketch of the diagram the region whose area represents the displacement of P, from O, at the instant when Q starts.
  2. Given that P has travelled 16 m at the instant when Q starts, find
    1. the value of T,
    2. the distance between P and Q when Q's speed reaches 10 m s-1.
