A cyclist is stationary when a second cyclist passes travelling at a constant speed of 8 m s−1. The first cyclist then accelerates for 5 s at a constant rate of 2 m s−1 before continuing at constant speed until overtaking the second cyclist. By sketching both graphs, find the equations of the two straight line sections of the graphs and hence find how long it is before the first cyclist overtakes the second.
