TRAVEL GRAPHS

Example 1

SOLUTION
Decceleration during the first 10 seconds
𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑
(𝑎) 𝐷𝑒𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 =
𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒
25𝑚/𝑠
=
10𝑠

= −2,5𝑚/𝑠 2
(𝑏)Total distance travelled = Area under a curve
1
In this case its an area of a triangle so we use the formula 𝐴 = (𝐵 × 𝐻)
2
1
Total distance = (10 × 25)
2

= 125m
Example 2
TRAVEL GRAPHS

In the diagram above , a moving object decelerates from a speed of 30m/s to a


speed of 18m/s in 4 seconds and further decelerates from a speed of 18mls to
rest in 6 seconds.
Calculate
a)the speed of the object after the first 2 seconds
b)the total distance covered by the object in the 10 seconds
SOLUTION
a)Calculating the deccelation from 30m/s to 18m/s
18−30
𝐷=
4

𝐷 = −3𝑚/𝑠 2
Apply the laws of motion , v = u + at to find the speed
v=u + at
v = 30 + (−3)(2)
v = 24m/𝑠 2
b)Distance = Area under a graph
First Approach
TRAVEL GRAPHS

D = Area of triangle + Area of triangle 2 + Area of rectangle


1 1
= ( × 4 × 12 ) + (18 × 4) + ( × 6 × 18)
2 2

= 150m
SECOND Approach
D = Area of triangle + Area of trapezium
1 1
𝐷 = ( × 12 × 4) + (10 + 4) × 18
2 2
𝐷 = 150𝑚

Practice Questions

Question 1
The velocity – time graph of a bus moving with uniform acceleration passes
through the points (3,20) and (5,35) . For this journey calculate
i)the acceleration (2)
ii)the time when the velocity is 30 metres per second (2)
iii)the distance travelled during the time interval from t=3 to t=5 (2)
Note that on a velocity – time graph the point (3,20) denotes that after 3
seconds the velocity is 20 metres per second
