Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cyclist travels with varying speeds shown in a velocity-time graph with segments for different speeds. If the graph shows a triangular area for acceleration and a rectangular area for uniform speed, calculate total displacement over 10 minutes.
💡 Hint: Use height and base for area expressions.
Sketch a velocity-time graph showing a car accelerating for 5 seconds, moving at constant speed for 10 seconds, and decelerating to a stop in another 5 seconds. Calculate the total distance from your graph.
💡 Hint: Check area formulas: triangle for acceleration, rectangle for constant speed.
