1. What is wrong with the following statements?

a. “The displacement of the bus is 500 m.”

b. “The velocity of the car is 10 m/s.”

2. An object movement can be described by the following speed-time graph.

a. What is the deceleration of the object?

b. What is the distance travelled between from t=3s to t=4s?

3. Refer to the following speed-time graph, and state whether the following
statements are True or False. If you answered False, provide an explanation.

a. The speed at t2 is lower than the speed at t1 because the gradient at t2

is lower than t1.
b. The object is accelerating at an increasing rate because the speed is
increasing from t1 to t2.
c. The speed is increasing with a decreasing acceleration.
4. The graph shows the speed of a car from the time the driver saw an obstacle
on the road and applied the brakes till the car came to a stop.

a. How long did it take the driver to begin applying the brakes after seeing
the obstacle?
b. Calculate the distance travelled
i. before the brakes were applied,
ii. while the brakes were being applied.
c. Calculate the average speed of the car.
5. An astronaut standing on the Moon’s surface throws a rock vertically upwards.
The figure shows the speed-time graph of the rock where at t = 0 s, the rock
just leaves the astronaut’s hand. Air resistance on the Moon can be
neglected.

a.
i. What is the time taken for the rock to reach its maximum height?
ii. What is the total distance travelled by the rock when it returns to
its initial position?
iii. Find the acceleration of the rock.

b. The rock is then brought back to the Earth’s surface and the astronaut
repeats the same action as on the Moon. Determine whether the
speed-time graph of the rock, when it is thrown on Earth, will be
different. Explain your answer.
