1. A truck travels along a straight road. Fig. 1.1 (a) Explain what is meant by deceleration.
shows the variation of the distance, s, of the
truck from a certain point on the road with (b) Use Fig. 2.1 to determine
time, t. (i) the distance travelled between times t = 3.0 s
and t = 6.0 s,
distance = ……….
(ii) the deceleration between times t = 3.0 s and t
= 6.0 s.
deceleration = ………
(c) (i) State what happens to the size of the
deceleration after time t = 6.0 s.
(ii) State what happens to the resultant force on
the skater after time t = 6.0 s.
3. (a) (i) Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity
(a) Describe the motion of the truck from t=0 to is a vector quantity.
