1Classwork / Assignment: Linear Motion.

1) The graph below shows the speed/velocity-time graph for the first 100 s of the journey of a
car.

a) During the journey, describe how:

i) the speed/velocity of the car changes.
ii) the acceleration of the car changes.
b) What is the total distance travelled by the car in 100 s?
2) The graph below represents graphically the velocity of a bus moving along a straight road
over a period of time.

a) What does the portion of the graph between 0 and A indicate?

b) What can you say about the motion of the bus between B and C?
c) What is the deceleration of the bus between C and D?
d) What is the total distance travelled by the bus in 100 s?
e) What is the velocity of the bus?

3) A car travels along a straight road. The speedometer reading after every 5 s is tabulated.
