ECZ 2022 · O-Level Paper 1 — Travel Graphs

The diagram below is the speed-time graph of an object. The object starts from rest and accelerates uniformly for 2 seconds until it reaches a speed of 10m/s. It then travels at this speed for 8 seconds and finally decelerates to rest after 5 seconds. Find the (a) retardation of the object in the last 5 seconds.
