Motion Revision Questions.

1. A cyclist, travelling at a steady rate, rides 2500 m in 125 s. What is her average speed (in m/s)? [1]

2. A runner covers 1.2 km in 6 minutes. What is his average speed (in m/s and in km/hr)? [2]

3. . Consider three cars P, Q and R which all start at town X and travel to town Y by three different roads,
as shown in the diagram below.

To travel from town X to Y took:

• car P 3 hours
• car Q 5 hours
• car R 8 hours

a. What was the average speed of Car P? [1]


b. Why do we use the term ‘average speed’? [1]
c. What was the displacement of Car P at the end of its journey? [1]
d. What was the average speed of Car Q? [1]
d. What was the average velocity of Car R? [1]

4. Consider the boundary rider in the diagram below. He takes 3 hours to get to A, another 2 hours to get to B,
2 more to C and 3 more to D. After a total of 12 hours he is back home.

a. What is his average velocity from D to home? [2]


b. What is his average speed for the whole journey? [1]
c. What is his average velocity for the whole journey? [1]

5. The figure below shows how far an object is from the start point P over a 10 second time period.
Use the graph to answer the questions on the next page.

a. How far was the object from P at t = 1 s? [1]


b. What was the object doing between t = 2 and t = 5 s? [1]
c. What was the total distance travelled? [1]
d. When was object travelling at the fastest speed? [1]
e. What was the average speed for the whole journey? [2]
f. When was the object stationary? [1]
6. The figure to the right shows the distances of several
cyclists from a town over a three hour period.

a. Which cyclist travelled the furthest? [1]

b. Which cyclist had the greatest average speed? [1]

c. What was the average speed of cyclist 1 (km/hr)? [1]

d. Describe the motion of cyclist 5. [1]

e. Which two cyclists were furthest apart after 3 hours? [1]

7. A car initially at rest accelerates at 3 m/s2 for 12 s. What is its speed after t = 4, 8 and 12 s? [2]

8. A rock falls from the top of a cliff onto a roadway below. It takes 2 s to fall and its speed when it hits the road is
20 m/s. What acceleration does gravity give the rock as it falls? Assume no air friction. [1]

9. A car moving at 60 m/s crashes into a wall and comes to rest in 0.25 s. What acceleration stops the car? [1]

10. A rocket takes off and accelerates at 50 m/s2 until its speed is 2000 m/s. How long does this take? [1]

11. The graph below shows how the speed of a car changed with time as it accelerated.
a. What was the velocity of the car at
t = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 15 s? [2]
b. When was the car moving with a constant velocity? [1]
c. When was the car accelerating? [1]
d. What were the accelerations during these times? [2]
e. When was the car decelerating? [1]
f. Calculate this deceleration. [1]
g. How far did the car travel between t = 2 and 6s? [2}
h. What was the total distance travelled? [3]
i. What was the total displacement? [1]

12. The graph shows the velocity of an object over time.


a. What was the initial speed of the object? [1]
b. What was its initial velocity? [1]
c. What was the displacement of the object after 12s? [2]
d. What was the displacement from 12 to 20s? [2]
e. What total distance did it travel? [1]
f. What was the total displacement after 20s? [1]
g. What was the average speed over 20s? [1]
h. What was the average velocity over 20s? [1]
