Ali was on a training run.
The diagram is the speed-time graph of part of his run.
At t = 0, his speed was 8 m/s.
His speed decreased at a constant rate until it was 4 m/s at t = 200.
(i) Calculate
(a) his retardation during the 200 s, [1]
(b) the distance he ran during the 200 s, [2]
(c) his speed at t = 150. [1]
(ii) Ben ran at a constant speed in the same direction as Ali.
At t = 0, Ali and Ben were level.
They ran the same distance in the next 150 seconds.
Calculate Ben’s speed. [2]
