Physics Motion Quiz: Speed and Acceleration

What is the acceleration of the car during the first 18 seconds?

Calculate the constant speed of the bus given that it travelled 394m in 40 seconds.

What is the average speed of the train in km/h if it travels 16240m in 10 minutes 30 seconds?

What is the acceleration of the car for the first 15 seconds when it reaches a speed of 30 m/s?

Find the value of T in minutes, if the total distance travelled after 15 seconds is 45 kilometres.

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.

Test your understanding of speed-time graphs and the concepts of acceleration and average speed. This quiz challenges you to calculate acceleration, constant speed, and average speed using given data from car and train journeys. Suitable for advanced physics students.
