Q2. A car is travelling at 25 m s−1. How far will it travel in 2 hour?

Q3. Sketch a displacement–time graph to show your motion for the following event. You are
walking at a constant speed across a field after jumping off a gate. Suddenly you see a bull
and stop. Your friend says there’s no danger, so you walk on at a reduced constant speed. The
bull bellows, and you run back to the gate. Explain how each section of the walk relates to a
section of your graph.

Q4. A river flows from west to east with a constant velocity of 1.0 m s−1. A boat leaves the
south bank heading due north at 2.40 m s−1. Find the resultant velocity of the boat.

Q5. A) Define displacement.

B) Use the definition of displacement to explain how it is possible for an athlete to run
round a track yet have no displacement. 3

Q6. State one diff erence between a scalar quantity and a vector quantity and give an example
of each.
