1. An athlete runs along a straight road. She starts from rest and moves with constant acceleration for 5 seconds, reaching a speed of 8 ms~*, This speed is then maintained for T seconds, She then decelerates at a constant rate until she stops. She has run a total of 500 min 75 s, (a) Sketch a speed-time graph to illustrate the motion of the athlete. (b) Calculate the value of 7. 10. Aman is driving a car on a straight horizontal road, He sees a junction S ahead, at which he must stop. When the car is at the point P, 300 m from S, its speed is 30 mst. The car continues at this constant speed for 2s after passing P. The man then applies the brakes so that the car has constant deceleration and comes to rest ats. (a) Sketch, in the space below, a speed-time graph to illustrate the motion of the car in moving from P to S. (b) Find the time taken by the car to travel from P to S. ‘Two trains M and N are moving in the same direction along parallel straight horizontal tracks. At time ¢ = 0, M overtakes N whilst they are travelling with speeds 40 ms“ and 30 ms“ respectively. Train M overtakes train N as they pass a point X at the side of the tracks. After overtaking N, train M maintains its speed of 40, ‘ms™ for T seconds and then decelerates uniformly, coming to rest next toa point Y at the side of the tracks. After being overtaken, train N maintains its speed of 30 ms~* for 25 s and then decelerates uniformly, also ‘coming to rest next to the point Y. The times taken by the trains to travel between X and Y are the same. {2} Sketch, on the same diagram, the speed-time graphs for the motions of the two trains between X and y. {(b) Given that 175 m, find the value of T A lift moves upwards from rest and accelerates at 0.9 ms~? for 3 s. The lift then travels for 6 s at constant speed and finally siows down, with a constant deceleration, stopping in a further 4s. (i) Sketch a velocity-time graph for the motion. (i) Find the total distance travelled by the lift A sprinter runs a race of 400 m. His total time for running the race is 52 s, The diagram shows the velocity- time graph for the motion of the sprinter. He starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a speed of 8.2 ‘mst in 6 s, The sprinter maintains a speed of 8.2 ms~* for 36 s, and he then decelerates uniformly to 2 speed of V ms~tat the end of the race. (i) Calculate the distance covered by yams“) the sprinterinthe first 42 sof the race. (ii) Show that V = 7.84. (ili) Calculate the deceleration of the sprinter in the last 10 s of the race. 16) 16. The velocity-time graph shown in Figure represents the straight line motion of a toy car. All the lines on the graph are straight. velocity ‘The car starts at the point A at ¢ = 0 and in the next 8 seconds moves to a point 8. () Find the distance from A to B. TT seconds after leaving A, the cars at a point C which isa distance of 10 m from 8. (i) Find the value of 7. (ili) Find the displacement from A to C. 417. Rearpasses a point A travelling at 10 ms". Its motion over the next 45 seconds is modelled as follows. ‘©The car's speed increases uniformly from 10 ms“ to'30 ms“? over the first 10s. ‘ts speed then increases uniformly to 40 ms~*over the next 15s. + The car then maintains this speed fora further 20 at which time it reaches the point B. (i) Sketch a speed-time graph to represent this motion. (i) Calculate the distance from A toB. (ii) When it reaches the point B, the car is brought uniformly to rest in T seconds. The total distance from A is now 1700 m. Calculate the value of T.
