Acceleration

The rate of change of velocity over time, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Distance traveled at constant speed

The distance traveled by an object at a constant speed, calculated by multiplying the speed by the time taken.

Average speed

The average speed of an object over a given distance and time, calculated by dividing the total distance by the total time.

Distance traveled under acceleration

The distance traveled by an object that is accelerating uniformly, calculated by the area under the speed-time graph.

Study Notes

Question 1

  • A speed-time graph shows the journey of a car and a bus.
  • The car accelerates for 18 seconds.
  • Calculate the acceleration of the car in the first 18 seconds.
  • The car travels 134 meters more than the bus in the first 40 seconds.
  • Find the constant speed of the bus.
  • A train travels 16240 meters in 10 minutes 30 seconds.
  • Calculate the average speed of the train in km/h.

Question 2

  • A speed-time graph shows the journey of a car.
  • The car accelerates uniformly at a rate for 15 seconds before reaching a constant speed of 30 m/s.
  • Find the acceleration for the first 15 seconds.
  • Calculate the time, T, in minutes, when the total distance travelled is 45 km.

Question 3

  • A speed-time graph shows the final 40 seconds of a car's journey.
  • The car's speed is v m/s at the start of the 40 seconds.
  • Calculate the car's acceleration during the first 24 seconds.
  • The total distance travelled during the 40 seconds is 1.24 km.
  • Find the value of v.

Question 4

  • A speed-time graph shows the first 8 seconds of a car's journey.
  • The car travels at a constant acceleration until 6 seconds, then at a constant speed for another 2 seconds.
  • Calculate the value of v if the total distance traveled is 150 meters.
