Train slows to rest and covers a distance of ii Air resistance [1]
2500 m [1] Acts in the opposite direction to the
velocity and so reduces the acceleration.[1]

s = 20t + 0.5 × 9.8t2 = 20t + 4.9t2[1] 7 a i Ball travels upwards (or reverses direction)
on bouncing. [1]
b Substituting values of t in the equation gives
[1] ii In both cases, the ball is accelerating due
after 2.0 s, displacement = 20.4 m ≈ 20 m [1] to gravity only. [1]
after 6.0 s, displacement = –56.4 m ≈ –56 m [1] iii Initial height of the ball above the ground.

t = 4.9 position. or

energy) during the bounce. [1]

(25 + 50)
average speed = 2 = 37.5 m s [1] –1

distance travelled = 37.5 × 20 = 750 m [1] 8 a Tangent drawn at t = 0.7 s and gradient of
graph determined [1]
c B must travel an extra 50 m; its additional –2
a = 0.8 (±0.2) m s [1]
speed is 10 m s–1[1]
so time required = 5010 = 5 s [1] b Acceleration is constant from t = 0
–1 to about t = 0.5 s [1]
d Consider car A: it travels at 40 m s for 25 s [1]

and decreases from t = 0.5 s [1]

Correct method, e.g. trapezium rule or
squares counted [1]
Distance = 0.20 ± 0.01 m [1]
d Random errors – the points are either side
of the line [1]
Systematic errors – the whole line is shifted
up or down [1]

the driver was alert. [1]
