    A car accelerates at a constant rate of 2 m/s^2 for 20 seconds, increasing its velocity from 10 m/s to 40 m/s. The distance traveled during this time can be calculated from the area under the velocity-time graph or using the formula d = 1/2 * a * t^2, which gives 200 meters. The acceleration is the slope of the line on the v-t graph, which is 2 m/s^2.

    Graphs of Motion

    1. A car travelling at 10m/s accelerates at a constant rate for 20s until its velocity is 40m/s.

    v (m/s)

    50
    40
    30
    20
    10

    t (s)
    10s 20s

    a. Using the axis above draw v-t graph for this motion.
    b. Use the graph to calculate the distance traveled

    c. Use the graph to calculate the acceleration.

    2. The motion of a car travelling a long a straight road can be split into 3 stages:
    (i) 30s of constant acceleration from rest.
    (ii) 60s of constant velocity
    (iii) 10s of braking to stop
    Draw displacement – time, velocity – time and acceleration – time graphs for this motion
