Q1KinematicsFree sample

Fig. 1.1 shows the speed-time graph for a car.

At time t=15 st = 15\ \text{s}, the brakes are applied and the car comes to rest with uniform deceleration.

(a)
(i)

State the speed of the car just before the brakes are applied.

speed = ______

1M
(ii)

Explain what is meant by uniform deceleration.

2M
(b)

A lorry travels at a constant speed of 18 m / s18\ \text{m / s} for 15 s15\ \text{s}. At time t=15 st = 15\ \text{s}, the brakes are applied and the lorry slows down with the same deceleration as the car.

(i)

On Fig. 1.1, draw the speed-time graph for the lorry.

2M
(ii)

Explain how your graph shows that, while braking, the lorry travels further than the car.
