12 An athlete goes for a training run.
The graph shows their speed as they run.

Speed (m/s) against time (secs) graph: speed rises in a straight line from 0 to 4 m/s at 400 seconds, stays at 4 m/s until 1000 seconds, then falls in a straight line to 0 at 1200 seconds

Not to scale

(a) Write down the athlete’s acceleration between 400 seconds and 1000 seconds. [1]
(b) Work out the athlete’s average speed, in m/s, during the 1200 seconds.
You must show your working. [5]
