Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Look at the velocity-time graph below. If the graph line is horizontal at 20 m/s for 5 seconds, what is the total distance traveled during this period?
[2 marks]
2.
A car's velocity increases linearly from 0 m/s to 30 m/s over 10 seconds. Calculate the acceleration.
[3 marks]
3.
On a velocity-time graph, what does a steep upward slope indicate about the object's motion?
[2 marks]
4.
Construct a velocity-time graph showing a vehicle accelerating for 8 seconds, then maintaining constant speed for 5 seconds, and finally decelerating to rest in 3 seconds.
[4 marks]
5.
A velocity-time graph shows a straight line sloping downward from 15 m/s to 0 m/s over 6 seconds. What is the average deceleration?
[3 marks]
6.
A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 12 m/s for 15 seconds. How far does the cyclist travel?
[2 marks]
7.
Explain what the area under a velocity-time graph represents. Use the context of a moving vehicle in your answer.
[4 marks]
8.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following interpretation: 'A steep downward slope on a velocity-time graph means the vehicle is speeding up.'
[3 marks]
9.
A graph shows velocity decreasing from 10 m/s to 0 m/s over 4 seconds. Plot the graph on the provided grid.
[4 marks]
10.
A vehicle accelerates uniformly from rest to 20 m/s in 5 seconds. How far has it traveled in this time?
[3 marks]
11.
A student drew a velocity-time graph with a curve that appears to be exponential. Why is this unlikely for uniform acceleration?
[3 marks]
