3(a) A car is travelling with a constant velocity of 12 m/s . A driver applies the break as he sees a
cow which is at a distance of 10 m from the car and the is stopped . Find the acceleration . Is it
acceleration or deceleration ? ( 4 marks )
3(b) Illustrate the motion graphs for both s-t graph and v-t graph where the conditions are
(i)motion with constant speed
(ii)motion with uniform negative acceleration. ( 4 marks )

3(c)Can the object move when the acceleration is zero? Why? (2marks)
4(a) Figure shows the speed -time graph for a journey of Luke from his house to school . Look
at the shape of the graph and describe the type of motion in each stage .

(i) left home [ O ]

(ii) moving with uniform deceleration [ BC ]
(iii) moving with uniform speed (lower ) [ ]
(iv) moving with uniform deceleration [ ]
(v) not moving [ ]
(vi) moving with increasing acceleration [ ]
(vii) reached school [ ]
(viii) moving with uniform speed higher ) [ ]
(ix) moving with uniform acceleration [ ]
(x) moving with deceleration [ ] ( 8 marks )

7. (a) McLaren racing engineers are testing a variety of new engines in their latest model F1 car. They are
testing which engine has the greatest top speed from rest. The engines all accelerate on average at 14.5
m/s2. The resulting distances are recorded in the table below. Calculate the final velocities. ( 5 marks )

7 (b) An aeroplane can accelerate at a rate of 2.5 m/s2 . The plane takes off when it speed reaches
60 m/s. Calculate the minimum length of runway that the plane needs to take off. (4 marks)
