A truck accelerates from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 10 seconds. Sketch and label the position-time and velocity-time graphs for this period.
💡 Hint: Use the definitions of acceleration and graph shapes.
If a cyclist's position-time graph is a straight line from (0,0) to (10,100) and the cycle time is 5 seconds, calculate the average speed and plot the velocity-time graph.
💡 Hint: Consider the slope of the position-time graph for speed.
