The graph shows the variation with time of the velocity of a car. [Diagram of velocity-time graph with velocity /ms-1 on y-axis (0-12) and time/s on x-axis (0-10). The graph shows acceleration from t=0 to t=2s (velocity from 0 to 12ms-1), constant velocity from t=2s to t=6s (velocity 12ms-1), and deceleration from t=6s to t=10s (velocity from 12ms-1 to 0).] Which statement is correct?
AThe car accelerates for 2s, then stops for 4 s and then reverses.
BThe car accelerates at 12 ms-2 for 2 s.
CThe car travels a distance of 36 m in the first 4 s.
DThe car travels a distance of 48 m in the last 4 s.
