a) Gradient of the v t graph is the rate of change of the velocity which is the acceleration of the object. b) The area under the graph gives the displacement of the object.
b) Displacement , s of the object = Area under the graph = Area 1 + Area 2 + Area 3 = 50 + 200 + 150 = 400 m

2. Which of the following can be deduced from a velocity-time graph for a truck? velocity
Time A.The truck accelerates uniformly B.The truck first accelerates and then moves with a steady velocity C.The decelerates until it stops.
v (m/s) 30
ANSWER:
Acceleration = gradient of graph a = y2 - y1 / x2 x1 = 30 0 / 3 0 = 10 ms -2

4. The figure shows a velocity-time graph of a moving car. Which of the following is true about the moving pattern of the car? A>Average speed is 9m/s B>OA shows that the car accelerating at 6.7m/s2 C>AB shows the car is at rest D>BC shows the car is moving back to its starting position
5. A car strats to move from rest and move at 4 ms-1 for 5s. A>Draw the velocity-time graph B>Total distance travelled by the car
Time (s)
-6
ANSWER: a)Acceleration of the car a = gradient of graph a= y2- y1/ x2- x2 a = -6 -10 / 8-0 a = -16 / 8 a= - 2 ms-2
