Distance-Time & Velocity-Time Graphs

This document contains several physics problems involving calculations of speed, velocity, acceleration, and time. It includes: 1) A calculation of speed using the formula speed = distance/time, finding a speed of 20 m/s. 2) A calculation of time by subtracting two time values, finding a time of 20 seconds. 3) Another calculation of speed using the formula speed = distance/time, finding a speed of 10 m/s. 4) Calculations of average speed using the formula average speed = total distance/total time, finding average speeds of 8.33 m/s and 12.5 m/s.

(1) Speed = Distance/Time

= 200/10
= 20 ms^-1

(2 ) Time = 30 - 10 = 20 seconds

(3) Speed = Distance/Time


= 300/30
= 10 ms^-1

(4) A to B

(5) Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time


= 500/60
= 8.33 ms^-1

(6) Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time


= 500/40
= 12.5 ms^-1
y2
(i) Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time
= 12/2
= 6 km/h

(ii) The athlete was at rest.

(iii) Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time


= 12/1.5
= 8 km/h

Gradient = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

60 mins = 1 hr

110 mins = 1 5/6 hrs (1.83)

140
(i) Time = 60 - 40 = 20 mins

(ii) Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time


100 = 100 / 2/3
= 150 km/h

(iii) Time from B to C:

Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time


60 Total Time = Total Distance/Average Speed
= 50/60
= 0.83 hrs x 60 = 50 mins

(1) Acceleration = Velocity/Time
= 8/4
= 2 ms^-2

(2) The athlete was travelling at a constant velocity.

(3) Deceleration = - Velocity/Time


= -8/1
= -8ms^-2

(4) Velocity = Distance/Time

Distance = (b x h)/2
= (4 x 8)/2
= 32/2
= 16 m

(i) Acceleration = Speed/ Time = Gradient of the line
= 40/15
= 2.67 ms^-2

(ii) Distance Travelled = Area under the graph


= 1/2 x h (a+b)
= 1/2 x
