b) Its speed in the last 8 seconds,

c) Its average speed, in ms-1, for the whole journey.

Example 3

The diagram above shows the distance-time graph of a car. Find

a) The duration of time for when the car is stationary,

b) Its speed, in ms-1, in the first 4 seconds,

c) Its average speed, in ms-1, for the whole journey

Example 4
The diagram below shows the distance-time graph of an object. Its speed in the first 6 is
1.5 ms-1.

Calculcate
a) The value of u,

b) The speed of the object in the last 8 seconds,

c) The average speed of the object in 14 seconds.

Example 5
Draw a speed-time graph by constructing a speed-time table to represent v= 5 – t ,
where v is the speed in ms-1 and t is the time in seconds for 0 < t < 5.
Example 6
Calculate the total distance travelled by a particle and its average speed in each of the
following speed-time graphs.
Example 7
Calculate the rate of change of speed by a particle in the following speed-time graphs.

a) Rate of change in speed during the first 2s

b) Rate of change in speed during the last 4s

Example 8
Calculate the value of v, given the rate of change of speed or distance travelled by a
particle in each of the following speed-time graphs.
a) Given that the rate of change of speed in the last 9s is 1.2ms-1.
b) Given that the distance travelled in the last 18 seconds is 100m

c) Given that the distance travelled during which the particle moves with uniform
speed is 40m.
Example 9
Diagram shows the speed-time graph for the journey of a car.

a) Find the rate of change of speed in ms-2, when t=20.

b) Find the distance travelled in the first 24 seconds.
c) The total distance travelled in T seconds is 1250m. Calsulate the value of T.
The motion of a particle for a certain period is representes by s = 3t + 2, where s is the
distance in cm and t is the time in seconds, Draw a distance-tiem graph to represent the
motion of the particle for a period of 5 seconds.
