A runner runs along a straight track.
The Table shows the distance the runner has travelled at different times.

Use data from the Table to show that the runner moved at a constant speed for the first 6 s.
Calculate the speed of the runner between 6 s and 10 s.
Describe the shape of the distance/time graph for the runner from 0 s to 10 s.
After 10 s the runner keeps running at the speed you calculated in (b).
Calculate the total time taken for the runner to run 100 m from the start.
96 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Physics 2.2 Speed, velocity and acceleration, covering 2.2.1 Speed and distance–time graphs, 2.2.2 Acceleration and the uniform-acceleration equation, 2.2.3 Velocity–time graphs, and 2.2.4 Measuring speed, typical speeds and free-fall acceleration. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
