(a) 2 Marks

(b) 4 Marks

x5 = −60 m
(c) 2 Marks

Distance traveled
= x5 – x0= −60−40 (c) 2 Marks
=−100 m

a5 = +18 m/s2
(d) 2 Marks

At t=4s, x4 = −52 m
Distance traveled from t= 4s to t=5s (e) 2 Marks
= x5 – x4= −60−(−52)
=−8 m

At t=6s, x6 = −50 m
Distance traveled from t= 5s to t=6s (e) 2 Marks
= x6 – x5= −50−(−60)
=+10 m

Total distance traveled = 8 m + 10 m = 18 m (e) 2 Marks
