A truck is driving along a straight road travelling at 10 ms. He then accelerates according to the acceleration time graph below:

 

Determine the final speed of the truck after it accelerates for 7 seconds.

Show Worked Solution

→ The increase in velocity of the truck will be equal to the area under the acceleration time graph.

→ Speed Increase

→ Final speed

PHYSICS, M1 EQ-Bank 7

 A plane is travelling at 315 ms north when it passes through a dense cloud and slows down to a velocity of 265 ms for safety precautions.

The plane did not change direction and travelled 2.5 km while it was slowing down.

Using north as the positive direction for all calculations, determine:

  1. the change in velocity of the plane.   (1 mark)

  2. the plane's acceleration.   (2 marks)

  3. the time over which the plane slowed down.   (2 marks)

Students performed an investigation to determine the initial velocity of a projectile.

Which row correctly identifies a hazard of this investigation and a related precaution?
 

  Hazard Safety precaution
A.   flying projectile wearing safety glasses
B.  range of projectile measuring the range with a tape measure
C.  enclosed shoes limiting the range of the projectile
D.  safety glasses flying projectile

Show Worked Solution

→ A hazard is a danger and the only danger in the answer options is the flying projectile.

→ Wearing safety glasses will protect students eyes from being hit from the projectile.
