Motion Time Graph

1) The document provides a table showing the velocity over time of a taxi taking friends to a cricket match. It lists the velocity and time at 7 intervals during the first minute of the journey. 2) Students are asked to plot the velocity-time data on a graph, calculate the slope of the graph, and state that the slope represents acceleration. 3) They are then asked to continue the graph to show that the velocity was constant for the next minute and then decelerated uniformly to a stop for the final minute, and use the graph to determine the total distance traveled.

Name:_____________________ ____/20

Form:______________________

1. A taxi driver was taking his friends to a popular 20/20 cricket match. Table 1 shows the
vehicle's velocity for the first minute of the journey.

TABLE 1
Velocity, V/ms-l Time, t / s

0.0 0.0

11.0 10.0

23.0 20.0

34 .0 30.0

47.0 40.0

57.0 50.0

69.0 60.0

(a) Plot on page 3, a graph of velocity (V) versus time (t). (7 marks)
(b) From the graph, calculate the slope, p.

(4 marks)

IWhat quantity does the slope, p, represent?

(1 mark )
(d) For the next minute, the vehicle’s velocity was constant, then for the final minute, the
vehicle decelerated uniformly to a stop on reaching the stadium.

(i) Continue the velocity-time graph on page 3, to show this information and use the
graph to determine the total distance travelled

(4 marks)
(ii) Calculate the average velocity of the taxi for the complete journey.

(2 marks)

(iii) If the total mass of the loaded taxi was 1 500 kg, determine the momentum of the vehicle
when it is travelling at constant velocity.

(3 marks) Total 20 marks
