Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Plot the graph of a car that starts from rest, accelerates at a steady rate for 5 minutes reaching a distance of 10 km, then moves at a constant speed for 10 minutes covering an additional 10 km.
[4 marks]
2.
Construct a distance-time graph for a cyclist who travels 15 km in 30 minutes at a constant speed.
[3 marks]
3.
Plot the motion of a person walking at 3 km/h for 20 minutes. Label the axes and key points.
[3 marks]
4.
A skateboarder travels 4 km in 8 minutes, then pauses for 4 minutes, and resumes traveling at the same speed for another 4 km. Draw the corresponding distance-time graph.
[4 marks]
5.
Explain what the flat (horizontal) sections of a distance-time graph represent, giving a real-world example.
[2 marks]
6.
A runner accelerates quickly for the first 2 minutes, then maintains a steady speed for 5 minutes, then slows down for 3 minutes. Sketch a possible distance-time graph based on this description.
[4 marks]
7.
A bus travels 60 km at an average speed of 30 km/h. Plot a distance-time graph and determine how long the journey takes.
[3 marks]
8.
Construct a graph showing the motion of a hiker who starts at 0 km, hikes 8 km in 2 hours, then rests for 30 minutes, then hikes another 4 km in 1 hour.
[4 marks]
9.
Describe how you would identify on a distance-time graph where a vehicle is moving at constant speed, accelerating, or stationary.
[2 marks]
10.
Identify and correct the mistake in this student graph: a flat line from 0 to 4 minutes, then a sharp increase, then flat again, but the scale on the distance axis is inconsistent.
[3 marks]
11.
Draw a graph to represent a vehicle that starts from 0 km, accelerates uniformly to reach 20 km in 10 minutes, then maintains a speed of 2 km/min for 10 minutes.
[4 marks]
