Velocity and Acceleration Ex Level 2 Solutions

This document contains solutions to exercises on kinematics concepts such as velocity, acceleration, and distance-time graphs. Exercise 1 involves calculating distance and acceleration from a velocity-time graph. Exercise 2 analyzes components of motion using constant acceleration. Exercise 3 derives velocity from the area under a graph. Exercise 4 examines acceleration from a graph's trapezoidal area. Exercise 5 derives velocity and assumptions using a non-uniform acceleration graph. Exercise 6 analyzes motion components including acceleration, constant velocity, and deceleration periods from a complex graph.

Solutions to Exercise level 2

1. (i) v (kmh-1)

120

0.75 T t (hours)

(ii) Distance = area under graph


Distance covered at constant speed = 120  0.75 = 90
This is 67 of the distance from A to B
so the distance from A to B = 76  90 = 105 km.

(iii) Distance travelled during deceleration = 15 km


15 = 21 (T − 0.75)  120
0.25 = T − 0.75
T =1
120
Final deceleration = = 480 kmh-2
0.25
480000 1
= = ms-2
3600 2
27

2. (i) Distance travelled in first 5 seconds = 21  5  30 = 75 m.


Distance travelled in next 5 seconds = 5  30 = 150 m
Distance travelled in first 10 seconds = 225 m.

−30
(ii) Acceleration during last part of journey = = −2 ms-2.
15

(iii) Distance travelled in first 5 seconds = 75 m (from (a))


Distance travelled in next 10 seconds = 10  30 = 300 m
Distance travelled in final 15 seconds = 21  15  30 = 225 m
Total distance travelled = 600 m.

3. Area under graph = 21  90  V


45V = 900
V = 20 ms-1

16
4. (i) Initial acceleration = 2  = 2 T = 8 using area of a
T trapezium

(ii) Area under graph = 21 (40 + 22)  16


= 496
Distance travelled = 496 m.

distance travelled
(iii) Average speed =
time
496
=
40
= 12.4 ms-1

5. velocity (km/min)

12 time (mins)

Area under graph = 21  12V = 6V


Distance travelled = 12 km  6V = 12
 V = 2 km/min = 120 kmh-1
The assumptions that the acceleration and deceleration are uniform are probably
not realistic.

Velocity (ms-1)

Area under graph during acceleration = 21  240  40 = 4800

Area under graph during deceleration = 1500


1500 = 21 t  40
t = 75
Time spent decelerating = 75 s

Total area under graph = 30000, so area under graph at constant speed =
30000 – 4800 – 1500 = 23700.
23700
Time spent at constant speed = = 592.5 s
40

Total time for journey = 240 + 75 + 592.5 = 907.5 s


= 15.125 minutes.
