GRAPHICAL PROBLEMS ON MOTION

1. The graph given alongside shows the positions of a body at different times.
Calculate the speed of the body as it moves from :
(i) A to B.
(ii) B to C, and
(iii) C to D

2. The following velocity-time graph shows the motion of a cyclist. Find (i)
its acceleration, (ii) its velocity and (iii) the distance covered by the cyclist
in 15 seconds.
