velocity / speed. Form t =150 to 300s (OR 250 s), the
boat decelerates uniformly. From t =250 to 300s, 1A
the boat travels backwards / in opposite direction. 1A Withhold this mark for saying
the boat stop at t = 300s.

(c) Distance traveled in the first 50s

= 1/2 a t2 1M

Alternative solution

Distance traveled = Area under the v-t graph 1M

= 1/2 x 50 x 5
= 125m 1A

(d) The boat is farthest away from the starting point at

t =250s. 1A

At t=250s, distance traveled = 1/2 x (250 +100) x 5 1M OR = 125 + 100x5 + (1/2)x100x5

=875 = 875
