result.
3. A, Band C are three points on a straight road such that AB=20m and
BC=15m.A motorist passes A and notices that it takes him 15 seconds and 20
seconds to travel between AB and BC respectively. Find his
(a) acceleration
(b) velocity as he passes A.

5. A particle with an initial position vector (-5i+8j) m travels with a constant
speed of 10ms" in the direction 3i+4j. Find its distance from the origin after 2
seconds.
6: Car A is travelling at 35ms" along a straight horizontal road and accelerates
uniformly at 0.4ms*. At the same timé, another car B moving at 44ms™ and
accelerating uniformly at 0.5ms* B is 200metres behind A. Find the time taken
before B overtakes car A.10. A company took a survey of the ages of its employees. The results are shown

11. A car moves along a straight road from point A to point B where AB=0.
885km. The car accelerates uniformly from rest for = seconds attaining a speed
of 15ms", The car maintains this speed of 15ms* for T seconds before
decelerating at a constant rate of 2.5ms” coming to rest at B.
