Answer all questions

1. An object has a constant acceleration of 3 A car travels with a constant acceleration for
3ms-2. This means that the . 40 seconds.
A Distance travelled by the object Which pair of the following displacement and
increases by 3 metres every second velocity/time graphs represents the car’s
journey?
B Displacement of the object increases
by 3 metres every second
C Speed of the object is 3ms-1 every
second.
D Velocity of the object is 3ms-1 every
second
E Velocity of the object increases by
3ms-1 every second.

2. An object starts from rest and accelerates in

a straight line.
The graph shows how the acceleration of the
object varies with time.

The objects speed at 5 seconds is

A 2ms-1
B 8ms-1
C 12ms-1
D 16ms-1
E 20ms-1
4. A car has a velocity of 10ms-1. It then
accelerates for 10s at 2ms-2.

The speed of the car at the end of the 10s

is.
A 10ms-1
B 20ms-1
C 30ms-1
D 40ms-1
E 50ms-1

5. A golfer strikes a ball straight down the

fairway.

The ball bounces twice before stopping at

point X.
Which of the following could be a graph of
the vertical component of its velocity
against time after it is struck?
6. A lift in a hotel makes a return journey from
the ground floor to the top floor and the back
again. The corresponding velocity/time graph
is shown below.

Which of the following could represent the

displacement/time graph for the same motion? Which of the following statements about the
motion is/are true?

I There is a change of direction of the object

at 4s.

shown below.

(a) How far is the skater from her starting position after 13 seconds? 3
(b) On graph paper, draw the corresponding acceleration/time graph for the first 13
seconds III The displacement of the object from 3 the
starting point is greatest at 6s.
