Motion — practice question

Fig. 1.1 shows the speed-time graph for a car moving along a horizontal road.
(a)[1]

On Fig. 1.1, plot and label a point where the car undergoes non-uniform deceleration.

(b)[2]

Calculate the car's deceleration at $t = 3.0\,\text{s}$.

(c)[2]

Explain, in terms of the horizontal forces acting on the car, why its speed stays constant at $t = 1.0\,\text{s}$.
