Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cyclist moves at a constant speed for 5 minutes, then accelerates to 25 m/s in 10 seconds. Draw the speed-time graph and explain the sections.
💡 Hint: Break it into segments: constant and acceleration phases.
A car increases its speed from 0 to 80 m/s in 20 seconds and then maintains this speed for 15 seconds before decelerating to a stop in 10 seconds. Sketch a speed-time graph and detail motion.
💡 Hint: Identify phases for each segment: acceleration, constant speed, deceleration.
