Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A car accelerates from rest to 30 m/s in 10 seconds. Draw the velocity-time graph, calculate the area under the curve for total displacement.
💡 Hint: Remember to use the area formula for a triangle.
An object moves with an acceleration of 4 m/s². Sketch an acceleration-time graph for the first 5 seconds; determine the displacement covered.
💡 Hint: Relate the constant acceleration to area calculation.
