Your challenge is again to find out the position of the truck after 10 seconds.

We cannot see the truck at 10 seconds, so we have to use the data that we have to formulate a model of the situation, and then use the model to find this unknown information.

In this case, find out if the graph of the motion is a straight line or not ... If not, can you think what the form of the algebraic model can be?

What is the position of the truck after 10 seconds?
