Question

A race car starts from rest and travels along a straight road until it reaches a speed of 26 m/s in 8 s. The v–t graph consists of three segments: - **Segment 1** ($0 \le t \le 6$ s): parabolic, $v = \dfrac{t^2}{1.8}$ m/s, starting at rest and reaching $v = 20$ m/s at $t = 6$ s. - **Segment 2** ($6 \le t \le 7$ s): horizontal (constant $v = 20$ m/s) — gear shift. - **Segment 3** ($7 \le t \le 8$ s): straight line rising from $v = 20$ m/s to $v = 26$ m/s. Draw the a–t graph and determine the maximum acceleration of…
