Quick questions on Motion graphs and acceleration (VCE Physics Unit 2)

3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What is q1?
Show answer
Define instantaneous acceleration from a velocity-time graph. [2 marks]
What is q2?
Show answer
A cyclist travels at 55 m s−1^{-1} for 1010 s, then accelerates at 0.50.5 m s−2^{-2} for 2020 s. Calculate (a) the final velocity, and (b) the total displacement. [4 marks]
What is q3?
Show answer
Refer to the Bathurst pit-lane example. (a) Calculate the deceleration. (b) Determine the braking distance.
