The diagram shows the velocity-time graphs for the motion of two particles P and Q, which travel in the same direction along a straight line. P and Q both start at the same point X on the line, but Q starts to move T s later than P. Each particle moves with speed 2.5 m s-1 for the first 20 s of its motion. The speed of each particle changes instantaneously to 4 m s-1 after it has been moving for 20 s and the particle continues at this speed.
A boy runs from a point A to a point C. He pauses at C and then walks back towards A until reaching the point B, where he stops. The diagram shows the graph of v against t, where v m s-1 is the boy’s velocity at time t seconds after leaving A. The boy runs and walks in the same straight line throughout.
(i) Find the distances AC and AB.
(ii) Sketch the graph of x against t, where x metres is the boy’s displacement from A. Show clearly the values of t and x when the boy arrives at C, when he leaves C, and when he arrives at B.
