Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
A car travels at a constant speed of 60 km/h for 2 hours. Calculate the distance travelled.
[2 marks]
2.
A cyclist's velocity increases linearly from 0 km/h to 30 km/h over 10 minutes. What is the total distance travelled during this time? (Use appropriate units and assumptions.)
[3 marks]
3.
On a velocity-time graph, a straight line rises from 0 to 40 km/h over 8 minutes. Sketch and explain how to find the distance travelled during this period.
[3 marks]
4.
A vehicle's velocity-time graph shows a constant velocity of 50 km/h for 3 hours, then decelerates uniformly to 0 km/h over 1 hour. Find the total distance travelled.
[4 marks]
5.
Using the graph below, which shows a cyclist's velocity over time, determine the total distance travelled during the 15 minutes. (Construct the graph on the grid.)
[4 marks]
6.
A train accelerates from 0 to 80 km/h in 4 minutes, then travels at this constant speed for 10 minutes. Calculate the total distance covered.
[3 marks]
7.
A runner maintains a velocity of 12 km/h for 30 minutes, then increases to 15 km/h for the next 20 minutes. What is the total distance run?
[2 marks]
8.
A boat's velocity decreases linearly from 20 km/h to 0 over 5 minutes. Sketch the graph and find the total distance travelled.
[4 marks]
9.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following student solution: A student calculates distance by multiplying velocity by time without considering units or conversion.
[2 marks]
