A body moves with a velocity of 2ms1 for 5s, then its velocity increases uniformly to 10ms1 in next 5s. Thereafter, its velocity begins to decrease at a uniform rate until it comes to rest after 5s.

(i) Plot a velocity-time graph for the motion of the body.

(ii) From the graph, find the total distance covered by the body after 2s and 12s.

(ii) According to the graph :

Distance moved by the body after 2s= Area OABC=2ms1×2s=4m

Distance covered by the body after 12s

= Area OAED + Area BEF + Area of DHGI + Area of FHG

=2ms1×10s+12×5s×8ms1+ 6ms1×2s+12×2s×5ms1

=20m+20m+12m+4m=56m
