A particle travels in a straight line. As it passes through a fixed point \(O\), the particle is travelling at a velocity of \(3\text{ m s}^{-1}\). The particle continues at this velocity for 60 seconds then decelerates at a constant rate for 15 seconds to a velocity of \(1.6\text{ m s}^{-1}\). The particle then decelerates again at a constant rate for 5 seconds to reach point \(A\), where it stops.
(a) Sketch the velocity-time graph for this journey.
(b) Find the distance between \(O\) and \(A\).
(c) Find the deceleration in the last 5 seconds.
