4 (a) B constant velocity of 5 m/s Allow speed is 5 m/s 2

D Idea that velocity/speed = 0 Allow “stops”, “stationary”,“at rest”

(b) Idea of greater slope (for stage E); Allow reverse argument, provided stage A is identified 1
e.g. the gradient is steeper e.g. “stage A has a shallower slope”

Allow attempts to demonstrate through

- ca culation of both gradients
- qualitative comp rison of data

(c) distance = speed × time OR distance = area under graph; The correct relationship can be implicit in the working 4
attempt to find any area;
attempt to total correct areas (or use trapezium method);
evaluation;
e. 59.5 (m) with no working = full marks
distance = area under graph
7 × 7 or ½ × 7 × 3 Allow the trapezium method -
(7 × 7) + (½ × 7 × 3) = 49 + 10.5 e.g. 7 × ( (7+10) ÷ 2 ) = 7 × 8.5
59.5 (m) = 59.5 (m)

(d) Correct equation shown ; Allow d/t 3

e.g. (average speed) = distance (moved) / time (taken)

Substitution of correct distance and suitable time;

Correct evaluation ;
e.g.106.5/27
3.94 (m/s) Allow (ecf) max 2
4.26 (m/s) (use of time = 25 s)
3.55 (m/s) (use of time = 30 s)
Allow reverse argument max 2
e.g. 106.5 ÷ 4 = 26.6 (s)
