5. The diagram below shows a speed time graph of an object which starts from rest and accelerates at a uniform rate for 8 seconds until it reaches m metres per second. It then assumes a different uniform acceleration until it reaches n metres per second. It finally retards uniformly and eventually come to rest. (i) Find the value of m if the acceleration during the first 8s was 3m/s2. (ii) Calculate the value of n given that the total distance covered between the 8th and 18th second is 345m. (iii) Find the value of T if retardation was 5m/s2. 6. (a) Define the following in relation to angular motion; (i) Radian (ii) Angular displacement (iii) Angular velocity (iv) Angular acceleration (b) A grinding wheel of diameter 30cm and rotating at 47.75rev/min accelerates uniformly at 0.5 rads −2 for 30s. Find: (i) The final angular velocity (ii) The final peripheral (circumferential) speed (iii) The angle turned through by the wheel during this time.
