Part A · Concepts5
A1Question A1Explain distance and displacement with an example where they differ.OpenA2Question A2Explain a horizontal line on a position–time graph.OpenA3Question A3A car travels north with negative acceleration. Explain the motion.OpenA4Question A4Sketch a runner going forward, resting, then returning to the start on a displacement–time graph.OpenA5Question A5Give a case with zero velocity but nonzero acceleration.Open
Part B · Graphs7
B6Question B6What does position–time slope represent?OpenB7Question B7What does velocity–time slope represent?OpenB8Question B8What does signed velocity–time area represent?OpenB9Question B9Sketch the skateboarder’s velocity–time graph: accelerates from rest for 4 s, steady for 3 s, then slows to rest.OpenB10Question B10A cyclist changes from 2.0 to 10.0 m/s over 6.0 s. Sketch its graph and calculate slope.OpenB11Question B11Use the first supplied graph to find displacement over the first 3 s and the whole 6 s.OpenB12Question B12Use the walking graph for distance, speed at 3.7 s, final displacement, and the time furthest from the start.Open
