🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To calculate velocity, acceleration, and analyse motion graphs

Success Criteria: I can calculate velocity and acceleration, interpret motion graphs, and apply kinematic equations

📚 Part 1: Multiple Choice Questions

1. A car travels 150 metres in 10 seconds. What is its average velocity?

10 m/s

15 m/s

1500 m/s

1.5 m/s

2. Which equation correctly represents acceleration?

a = v ÷ t

a = (v - u) ÷ t

a = d ÷ t

a = v × t

3. A ball is dropped from rest and falls for 3 seconds. Using g = 10 m/s², how far does it fall?

30 metres

45 metres

90 metres

15 metres

4. On a distance-time graph, what does a horizontal line represent?

Constant velocity

Acceleration

Object at rest

Deceleration

5. Which of these are vector quantities? (Select all that apply)

Velocity

Speed

Displacement

Distance

✏️ Part 2: Problem Solving

6. A cyclist accelerates from 5 m/s to 15 m/s in 4 seconds. Calculate the acceleration. Show your working.

7. A train travels at 25 m/s for 8 seconds, then decelerates uniformly to rest in 5 seconds. Calculate the total distance travelled.

8. Explain the difference between speed and velocity. Give an example to support your answer.

9. A stone is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. Using g = 10 m/s²:

a) How long does it take to reach maximum height? ________________

b) What is the maximum height reached? ________________

10. Extension Activity: A car's velocity changes according to the equation v = 3t + 2, where v is in m/s and t is in seconds. Find the car's acceleration and explain what the equation tells us about the motion.

📝 Differentiation Support

For additional support: Use the kinematic equations sheet provided

Key formulas: v = u + at, s = ut + ½at², v² = u² + 2as

Remember: u = initial velocity, v = final velocity, a = acceleration, t = time, s = displacement
