Speed & Velocity IGCSE

The document contains 20 physics questions related to motion graphs, speed, distance, time and acceleration. The questions test understanding of concepts such as: - Interpreting speed-time and distance-time graphs to determine when an object is stationary, moving at a constant speed or accelerating. - Calculating average speed from information about total distance and time. - Using the area under a speed-time graph to determine distance traveled under conditions of constant acceleration. - Solving word problems involving speed, distance and time to determine quantities such as length of a passing train or distance traveled before reaching a steady speed.
