Question 43

An inspection pod moves along a straight tunnel. The direction into the tunnel is positive.

The table gives velocity–time data for the pod. Between each pair of listed times, the velocity changes uniformly.

time in s\mathrm{s}svelocity in m/s\mathrm{m/s}m/s
0.0+2.0
3.0+8.0
7.0+8.0
10.00.0
12.0-4.0

After 12.0 s, the pod continues at a constant velocity of -4.0 m/s until the journey ends.

The total distance travelled during the journey is 70.0 m.

a.

Calculate the total time taken for the journey.

[5]
b.

Calculate the displacement of the pod from its starting point at the end of the journey.
