A car was driven a short distance then stopped for a brief period, before driving for a further distance to complete its journey. Use the distance time graph above to answer the following questions

2a. How far did the car travel in the first 2 seconds

50m

2b. How long was the car stationary for

7 seconds – 2 seconds = 5 seconds

2c. During which time period was the car moving at the fastest speed?

0-2 seconds as the gradient has the steepest line

2d. Calculate the speed of the car between 0 to 2 seconds

50m/2seconds = 25m/s

2e. Calculate the speed of the car between 7 to 13 seconds.

Total distance travelled = 70m-50m =20m

Total time period = 13 seconds – 7 seconds = 6 seconds

Speed = 20m/6 seconds = 3.3 m/s

Speed = 3m/s
