Question 2
FThe Figure shows the velocity-time graph for a car travelling along a straight road.
Figure
a.[1]
Write down the maximum velocity of the car.
b.[1]
Describe the motion of the car between 10 s and 30 s.
c.[3]
Use the equation: acceleration=change in velocitytime\text{acceleration} = \dfrac{\text{change in velocity}}{\text{time}}acceleration=timechange in velocity
Calculate the acceleration of the car in the first 10 s. Give the unit.
d.[2]
A student says:
'The car is not moving between 10 s and 30 s because the line on the graph is flat.'
Explain why the student is wrong.
