(b) Explain why SWU is not a diameter of the circle.

is a diameter of circle, then STU (or SVU) = 90° (right  in semi-circle is 90°). B1

If SWU
But STU = 89° (or SVU = 91°) which is  90°. Thus, SWU is not a diameter of circle.

25 The diagram shows the speed-time graph of a lorry which decelerates uniformly from 25 m/s to
10 m/s in 20 seconds.
The lorry then undergoes a further uniform deceleration at 0.4 m/s2 until it comes to a complete
rest when time is t seconds. Speed (m/s)
