4 A motorcyclist is travelling along a country road, as shown in Fig. 4.1.

Fig. 4.1
The statements below describe the motion of the motorcycle from point A to point B.
1. The motorcycle accelerates uniformly from rest at point A, increasing its speed to
25 m/s in 10 s.
2. It then travels at a constant speed of 25 m/s for 40 s.
3. It then decelerates uniformly to rest at point B, 70 s after leaving point A.
