Equations of motion — practice question

The graph in Fig. 1.1 shows how the displacement $s$ of a car varies with time $t$.
(a)[2]

Determine the magnitude of the average velocity between $5.0\ \text{s}$ and $35.0\ \text{s}$.

(b)[4]

On Fig. 1.2, sketch how the car’s velocity $v$ varies with time $t$.
