A girl is riding a bicycle at a constant velocity of 3.0 ms-1  along a straight road. At time time t=0, she passes her brother sitting on a stationary cycle. At time t=0, the boy sets off to catch up with his sister. His velocity increases from time t=0 until t=5 sec.when he overed a distance of 10 m. He then continues at a constant velocity of 4.0 ms-1.

Draw the displacement tome graph for the girl from time t=0 to t=12 sec.

Question Image

A student drops a small black sphere alongside a vertical scale marked in centimetres. A number of flash photographs of the sphere are taken at 0.1 sec. intervals, The diagram is shown sideways-the first black dot is a 0 cm. and the next at 4.0 cm

. The first photograph is taken with the sphere at the top, at the time t=0 sec..

Explain how the figure shows that the sphere reaches a constant speed
