An object starts from rest and is uniformly accelerated so that its speed is 60 m/s after 20s. If it travels with this speed for 40 s and is then brought to rest by a uniform retardation in 30 s. Sketch the velocity-time graph and calculate the acceleration, the retardation and the total distance travelled.

Object starts from rest ( initital velocity u =0), accelerated and speed v becomes 60 m/s after 20 s.
v = u+a×t = 0+a×20 ; hence acceleration a = 3 m/s2
distance travelled at initial 20 s with acceleration, S1 = (1/2)×a×t2 = (1/2)×3×400 = 600 m
distance travelled with constant speed 60 m/s for 40 s, S2 = 60×40 = 2400 m.
retardation given to reduce the speed from 60 m/s to 0 m/s in 30 s;
hence retardation is obtained from v= u-a×t , here v =0, u = 60 m/s, t = 30 s;
hence 0 = 60-a×30 ; hence a = 2 m/s2
distance travelled at final 30 s with retardation, S3 = u×t+(1/2)×a×t2 = 60×30-(1/2)×2×900 = 900 m
total distance travelled S1+S2+S3 = 600+2400+900 = 3900 m
