. a-t graph

The value of accn = slope of v-t graph

From 0−30:a=(V2–V1)/t=(12−0)/30=0.4

From 30−90:a=(V2–V1)/t=(0−0)/60=0

From 90−120:a=(V2–V1)/t=(0−12)/30=−0.4

enter image description here

Distance = Area under v-t graph

=A1+A2+A3=(0.5×30×12)+(60×12)+(0.5×30×12)=180+720+180=1080m

Average velocity = total dist/ total time

=1080/120=9m/s
