e) Calculate the speed of student P between 10.0and 12.0 s [2]
f) State which student has the faster speed between 3.0 s and 6.0 s. [1] [Total: 10]
Question 2
A box is attached to a parachute. The box and the parachute are falling through the air. The graph is the
Speed-Time graph for the box before the parachute is opened.
FORM 2: MOTION ASSIGNMENT
(a) Calculate the distance the box moves between time = 30 s and time = 40 s [3]
(b) Determine the time when the speed of the box is 30m/s [1] [Total: 4]
Question 3
The graph is a Speed–Time graph for a skier in a race.
(a) Describe the motion of the skier at each point P, Q, R and S on the graph. [4]
(b) Calculate the acceleration of the skier between 0 s and 5 s [2] [Total: 6]
FORM 2: MOTION ASSIGNMENT
Question 4
A car moves at a constant speed of 16m/s for 4.0 seconds. During the next 2.0 seconds, the car decelerates
from a speed of 16m/s to a speed of 13m/s. It then continues at a constant speed of 13m/s for 3.0 seconds.
On the grid, plot the Speed–Time graph for the motion of the car during these 9.0 s. [3]
Question 5
A student drops a ball from a high window.
FORM 2: MOTION ASSIGNMENT
The graph shows the speed of the ball while it is falling. The points S, T, U, V and W are shown on the
graph.
a) Determine the distance fallen by the ball in section U–V of the graph. [3]
b) State the distance fallen by the ball in section V–W of the graph. [1] [Total: 4]
Question 6
The diagram shows a Speed-Time graph for a student who is running.
(a) Calculate the distance travelled by the student between 80s and 100 s.[3]
(b) Calculate the deceleration of the student [3] [Total: 6]
Question 7
The diagram shows the axes of a Speed-Time graph for an object.
FORM 2: MOTION ASSIGNMENT
(a)The object has an initial speed of 50m/s and decelerates uniformly at 0.35m /s 2 for 100 s. On the
diagram, draw the graph to represent the motion of the object. [2]
(b) Calculate the distance travelled by the object from time = 0 to time = 100 s. [3] [Total: 5]
Question 8
A model railway has two stations, Station A and Station B. The distance between the two stations is 120 m.
A model train takes 54s to travel between Station A and Station B.
Calculate the average speed of this model train. [2]
Question 9
A student reviews some data about athletes and footballers. An athlete runs 12 km in 90 minutes. Calculate
the athlete’s average speed in km /h. [3]
Question 10
Some students determine the speed of a car on a road. The students measure the time for the car to travel
30m along the road. The time is 5.4 s.
Calculate the average speed of the car. [2]
