2. A boy is fishing in a river. Nearby, a ferry-boat is taking passengers backwards and forwards
across the river.

Fig. 2.1 Fig. 2.2

When he starts fishing one morning, the boy’s wristwatch is as shown in Fig. 2.1.

When he finishes his morning’s fishing, the wristwatch is as shown in Fig. 2.2.

(a) For how many minutes was the boy fishing?

number of minutes = ................................................ [3]

(b) It takes the ferry-boat 20 minutes to load up passengers, take them across the river,

load up with passengers at the other side, and return, to start all over again.

was fishing.

number of journeys = ................................................ [2]

4. A boy cycles a distance of 960 m from home to school in 8.0 minutes.
(a) Calculate his average speed for the journey. show working and equation you will use.

average speed = ..................................................m/s [4]

(b) The journey is all along a horizontal road. At the end of the journey the boy is tired because
of the work he has done.
Against which force has this work been done?

(c) A motorcyclist is travelling along a country road, as shown in Fig. 4.1.

Fig. 4.1
The statements below describe the motion of the motorcycle from point A to point B.
1. The motorcycle accelerates uniformly from rest at point A, increasing its speed to 25 m/s in
10 s.
2. It then travels at a constant speed of 25 m/s for 40 s.
3. It then decelerates uniformly to rest at point B, 70 s after leaving point A.
