ECZ 2018 · GCE Paper 1 — Travel Graphs
The speed-time graph shows a particle which started from rest and accelerated uniformly for 10 seconds to a speed V. It then travelled at constant speed for 20 seconds and then decelerated to rest at time t. Find the speed V the particle reached if its acceleration was 2 m/s² in the first 10 seconds.
- A. 5 m/s
- B. 20 m/s
- C. 2 m/s
- D. 40 m/s
Verified working — step 1
Acceleration is the gradient of the speed-time graph. Starting from rest, V = acceleration × time = 2 × 10 = …The full step-by-step working and final answer are included with Premium — checked against ECZ marking standards.
