A particle P moves in a straight line. It starts from rest at a point O and moves towards a point A on the line. During the first 8 seconds P's speed increases to 8 m s-1 with constant acceleration. During the next 12 seconds P's speed decreases to 2 m s-1 with constant deceleration. P then moves with constant acceleration for 6 seconds, reaching A with speed 6.5 m s-1.

  1. Sketch the velocity-time graph for P's motion.

The displacement of P from O, at time t seconds after P leaves O, is s metres.

  1. Shade the region of the velocity-time graph representing s for a value of t where 20 ≤ t ≤ 26.
  2. Show that, for 20 ≤ t ≤ 26,

\(s = 0.375t^2 - 13t + 202.\)
