A cyclist is cycling at a uniform speed of 8 m/s for 8 seconds.He then stops paddling and cycle comes to rest in next 10 seconds.Draw the velocity time graph and calculate: (i) the average retardation (ii) distance covered with uniform velocity (iii) distance covered with variable velocity (iv) average velocity of the cyclist ?
