- Question 1multiple choice · 2 marks
An object experiences a positive constant acceleration of 3 m/s^2. This means:
- Question 2multiple choice · 2 marks
The graph shows how the velocity varies for an object. After 3.0 seconds the distance travelled is: [Graph: velocity in m/s on the vertical axis (scale 0 to 25) against time in s on the horizontal axis (scale 0 to 4.0). The line rises as a straight line from 0 m/s at t = 0 to 20 m/s at t = 2.0 s, then runs horizontally at 20 m/s from t = 2.0 s to t = 4.0 s.]
- Question 3multiple choice · 2 marks
Which pair of graphs could be consistent for the motion of any object? [Table of four options labelled A to D. Each row shows a velocity-time graph and, beside it, the matching acceleration-time graph. A: velocity-time is a straight line of positive gradient starting at the origin; acceleration-time is also a straight line of positive gradient starting at the origin. B: velocity-time is a strai…
