A student measures the speed v of the trolley as it moves down the slope. The variation of v with time t is shown in the graph.

Question Image

The student obtained the reading for v using a motion sensor. The readings may have random errors and systematic errors. Explain how these errors affect the velocity-time graph.

A car driving at speedv on a straight road. He comes over a hill to find a tree fallen on the road ahead. He immediately breaks hard but travels a distance of 60 m at speed v before the breaks are applied. The skid marks left on the road by the wheels of the car are of length 140 m as shown. The police investigate whether the driver was speeding and establish that the car decelerates at 2 ms-2 during the skid.

Question Image

 Determine the initial speed of the car before the breaks are applied.
