$A$ car starts from rest and moves along the $x-$ axis with constant acceleration $5\, ms^{-2}$ for $8\, s$. If it then continues with constant velocity,what distance will the car cover in $12\, s$ since it started from the rest (in $m$)?

  • A
    $320$
  • B
    $160$
  • C
    $400$
  • D

An object is moving along a straight line with uniform acceleration. The following table gives the velocity of the object at various instants of time.
Time $(s)$$0$$1$$2$$3$$4$$5$$6$
Velocity $(m s^{-1})$$2$$4$$6$$8$$10$$12$$14$

Plot the graph.
From the graph:
$(i)$ Find the velocity of the object at the end of $2.5 \ s$.
