MOTION GRAPH AND FORMULA PRACTICE Tom cycles to school each morning along a straight flat road.

The graph shows his speed for the first 18 seconds of his journey to school.

(a) During the first 8 seconds of the journey, Tom's acceleration was constant.
1. How can you tell this from the graph? Because the line is a straight line, because the line is upward on the graph, this is positive acceleration
2. Calculate his acceleration during this 8 s period.
You must show how you work out your answer, including any equation used.
acceleration =
3. In the first 8 seconds, Tom travelled about 25.5 m.
Describe how this could be worked out using the graph.

(b) Tom and his bicycle have a combined mass of 60 kg.
1. Calculate the total kinetic energy of Tom and his bicycle after 10 s.
You must show how you work out your answer and any equation used.
kinetic energy =
2. On another morning, Tom reaches a speed of 1.5 m/s after only 1 second of his journey.
Calculate the average force needed for Tom to reach this speed after 1 second.
You must show how you worked out your answer, including any equation used.
force =

Equations:
a=Vf-Vi/t (m/s2)
F=ma (N)
s=d/t (m/s)
d= s t (m)
KE=1/2m*v2 (J)

Complete these sentences. if a roller coaster train has a potential energy of 1,500 j and a kinetic energy of 500 j as it starts to travel downhill, its total energy isj. once the roller coaster train gets closer to the bottom of the hill, its kinetic energy increases to 1,100 j, and its potential energy decreases to j. when the train reaches the bottom of the track and is traveling along the ground, its kinetic energy isj.
