Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A train accelerates uniformly from a standstill and reaches 30 m/s in 10 seconds. Draw its velocity-time graph and calculate the area under the curve.
💡 Hint: Consider how the graph represents a triangular area for linear acceleration.
A cyclist speeds up from 2 m/s to 12 m/s in 4 seconds, then continues at 12 m/s for the next 6 seconds before braking back down to 4 m/s over 2 seconds. Sketch a velocity-time graph and determine the total displacement.
💡 Hint: Break down the graph into different shapes for area calculations.
