Two cars

The graph shows the variation of velocity with time of two cars, A and B, which are travelling in the same direction over a period of time of 40 s. Car A, travelling at a constant velocity of 40 m/s, overtakes car B at time t = 0. In order to catch up with car A, car B immediately accelerates uniformly for 20 s to reach a constant velocity of 50 m/s.

[Graph showing velocity vs time for two cars, A and B. Car A has a constant velocity of 40 m/s. Car B starts at 25 m/s, accelerates uniformly to 50 m/s by 20 s, and then maintains 50 m/s until 40 s.]
