Figure 1

A car of mass 1200 kg moves along a straight horizontal road. To obey a speed limit, the
brakes are applied for 3 s, reducing the car’s speed from 30 m s−1 to 17 m s−1. The brakes
are then released and the car continues at a constant speed of 17 m s−1 for a further 4 s.
Figure 1 shows a sketch of the speed-time graph of the car during the 7 s interval.

Find the total distance moved by the car during this 7 s interval.

2. A man is driving a car on a straight horizontal road. He sees a junction S ahead, at which
he must stop. When the car is at the point P, 300 m from S, its speed is 30 m s–1. The car
continues at this constant speed for 2 s after passing P. The man then applies the brakes so
that the car has constant deceleration and comes to rest at S.

(a) Sketch, in the space below, a speed-time graph to illustrate the motion of the car in
moving from P to S.
(2)

(b) Find the time taken by the car to travel from P to S.

3. A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 20 m s−1 in T seconds. The car then
travels at a constant speed of 20 m s−1 for 4T seconds and finally decelerates uniformly to
rest in a further 50 s.

(a) Sketch, in the space below, a speed-time graph to show the motion of the car.

(b) The total distance travelled by the car is 1220 m. Find:

(i) the value of T,

(3)
(ii) the initial acceleration of the car.

4. A motor scooter and a van set off along a straight road. They both start from rest at the same
time and level with each other. The scooter accelerates with constant acceleration until it
reaches the speed 20 m s−1. It then maintains this constant speed for 40 s. The van
accelerates at a constant rate for 10 s until it reaches its top speed V m s−1, V > 20. It then
maintains this constant speed. The van overtakes the scooter when both have travelled a
total distance of 850 m.

(a) Sketch, on the same diagram, the speed-time graphs for both vehicles to show their
motion from the time when they start to the time when the van draws level with the
scooter.
(3)

(b) Find the time for which the scooter is accelerating.

(3)
(c) Find the value of V.

5. A car is moving along a straight horizontal road. The speed of the car as it passes the point
A is 25 m s–1 and the car maintains this speed for 30 s. The car then decelerates uniformly
to a speed of 10 m s–1. The speed of 10 m s–1 is then maintained until the car passes the
point B. The time taken to travel from A to B is 90 s and AB = 1410 m.

(a) Sketch, in the space below, a speed-time graph to show the motion of the car from point
A to point B.
(2)

(b) Calculate the deceleration of the car as it decelerates from 25 m s–1 to 10 m s–1.

6. A car is moving along a straight horizontal road. At time t = 0, the car passes a point A with
speed 25 m s–1. The car moves with constant speed 25 m s–1 until t = 10 s. The car then
decelerates uniformly for 8 s. At time t = 18 s, the speed of the car is V m s–1 and this speed
is maintained until the car reaches the point B at time t = 30 s.

(a) Sketch, in the space below, a speed–time graph to show the motion of the car from point
A to point B.
(3)

(b) Given that AB = 526 m, find

(i) the value of V,

(5)
(ii) the deceleration of the car between t = 10 s and t = 18 s.

7. A train is travelling at 10 m s–1 on a straight horizontal track. The driver sees a red signal
135 m ahead and immediately applies the brakes. The train immediately decelerates with
constant deceleration for 12 s, reducing its speed to 3 m s–1. The driver then releases the
brakes and allows the train to travel at a constant speed of 3 m s–1 for a further 15 s. He
then applies the brakes again and the train slows down with constant deceleration, coming
to rest as it reaches the signal.

(a) Sketch a speed-time graph to show the motion of the train.

(3)

(b) Find the distance travelled by the train from the moment when the brakes are first
applied to the moment when its speed first reaches 3 m s–1.
(2)
(c) Find the total time from the moment when the brakes are first applied to the moment
when the train comes to rest.
