Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the acceleration of a car that increases its velocity from 0 m/s to 20 m/s in 4 seconds.
[2 marks]2.
A cyclist accelerates from 5 m/s to 15 m/s over a time period of 5 seconds. What is their acceleration?
[2 marks]3.
A velocity-time graph shows a straight line rising from 0 m/s at 0 seconds to 30 m/s at 6 seconds. Calculate the acceleration.
[3 marks]4.
Construct a velocity-time graph for an object accelerating at 3 m/s² over 8 seconds. Indicate the initial velocity as 0 m/s.
[3 marks]5.
A train accelerates uniformly from 10 m/s to 30 m/s over 10 seconds. What is its acceleration?
[2 marks]6.
On a velocity-time graph, a horizontal line indicates what kind of acceleration?
[1 mark]APositive acceleration
BNegative acceleration
CZero acceleration
DConstant deceleration
7.
A vehicle's velocity decreases from 25 m/s to 15 m/s over 5 seconds. Find its acceleration and interpret the result.
[3 marks]8.
Explain why a velocity-time graph with a curved line indicates changing acceleration.
[3 marks]9.
A skateboarder accelerates from 2 m/s to 8 m/s in 3 seconds. Calculate the acceleration and the average velocity during this period.
[4 marks]10.
Identify and correct the mistake in this statement: 'If the velocity of an object is decreasing, the acceleration must be positive.'
[2 marks]11.
A rocket accelerates from 0 m/s to 300 m/s in 50 seconds. Calculate its average acceleration and describe what this tells you about its motion.
[3 marks]12.
A car is moving at a constant velocity. What does the velocity-time graph look like and what is the acceleration? Explain.
