Speed and Motion Test Yourself 2

The document provides a test on speed and motion, focusing on distance-time graphs and the concepts of sinking and floating based on density. It includes descriptions of movement between points A-F and a table to determine whether various objects sink or float in water. The answers indicate that the greatest speed occurs between points C-D, and the density calculations show which objects float or sink.

Distance- Time Graphs


Using the graph below, describe what is happening in terms of speed and distance between each of
the points.

• A-B:

• B-C:

• C-D:

• D-E:

• E-F:

Between which two points is the speed the greatest? How do you know?

Float or Sink?
The density of water is 1g/cm3. Work out whether the following would sink or float by completing the
table below.

Object Mass (g) Volume (cm3) Density (g/cm3) Float or sink?


Cork 2.4 10
Bone 18 10
Ice 9 10
Wood 10 0.77
Diamond 10 3.01

Distance- Time Graphs
Using the graph below, describe what is happening in terms of speed and distance between each of
the points.

• A-B: travels 3km in 5 hours at a steady speed.

• B-C: stationary.

• C-D: travels 9km in 4 hours.

• D-E: stationary.

• E-F: returns to starting position at a steady speed.

Between which two points is the speed the greatest? How do you know?
C-D, as this shows the steepest gradient/line.

Float or Sink?
The density of water is 1g/cm3. Work out whether the following would sink or float by completing the
table below.

Object Mass (g) Volume (cm3) Density (g/cm3) Float or sink?


Cork 2.4 10 0.24 float
Bone 18 10 1.8 sink
Ice 9 10 0.9 float
Wood 7.7 10 0.77 float
Diamond 30.1 10 3.01 sink
