Question

Two cars start from rest side by side and travel along a straight road. Car A accelerates at $4 \text{ m/s}^2$ for $10$ s and then maintains a constant speed. Car B accelerates at $5 \text{ m/s}^2$ until reaching a constant speed of $25$ m/s and then maintains this speed. Construct the $a$–$t$, $v$–$t$, and $s$–$t$ graphs for each car until $t = 15$ s. What is the distance between the two cars when $t = 15$ s?
