The speed-time graph below shows the motions of car X and car Y.
For car X, the first part of the graph is an arc of a circle, centre at the point P. Car
X then decelerates uniformly to rest.
For car Y, it travels at a constant speed of 2 m/s for the first 7 seconds and then
accelerates at a uniform rate to its maximum speed before decelerating uniformly
to rest.

(b) Car Y decelerates at 2.5 m/s2. Calculate the total time taken for car Y to
travel the whole journey.
(c) What is the speed of car Y when t = 10s ?
