WORKSHEET ON MOTION

1. A train begins a journey from a station and travels 60km in a time of 20 minutes. What is
the average speed of the train?

A 3.0m/ s B 5.0m/ s C 50m/ s D 60m/ s

2.Planes fly at typical speeds of around 250 m/s.


Calculate the total distance travelled by a plane moving at this average speed for 2 hours.
A. 1.8 X 105m B. 180m C. 1.8X106 D.1800m

3 The graph shows how the speed of a van changes with time for part of its journey. In which
labeled section is the van decelerating?

4. The diagram shows the speed-time graph for a car.


Which area represents the distance travelled while the car is accelerating?

A. X B. X + Y C. Y DY–X

5 An object moves at a constant speed for some time, then begins to accelerate. Which
distance-time graph shows this motion?

6 The graph represents the motion of a car.


What is the distance travelled by the car while it is moving at a constant speed?
A 100m B 150m C 250m D 300m

7 A car travels 6.0km along a main road in 6.0 minutes. It then travels 2.0km along a minor
road in 6.0 minutes.

Which calculation of average speed for the whole journey is correct?

A 8.0 ÷ 12.0 = 0.67 km/ minute


B 12.0 ÷ 8.0 = 1.5km/ minute
C 8.0 + 12.0 = 20km/ minute
D 8.0 × 12.0 = 96 km/ minute
PAPER 4
1 (a) A bus travels at a constant speed. It stops for a short time and then travels at a
higher constant speed.

Using the axes in Fig. 1.1, draw a distance-time graph for this bus journey.
