Motion — practice question

A woman travels by car from town A to town B, pausing at a garage on the way. The journey is represented by the distance-time graph in Fig. 3.1. Fig. 3.1 plots distance in km against time in hours, beginning at town A (0 km) and finishing at town B(100 km), with a horizontal section showing the car is stationary.
(a(i))[1]

Determine the overall time taken for the journey.

(a(ii))[1]

Determine how long the car remains stationary.

(a(iii))[1]

Determine the distance from town A to town B.

(a(iv))[3]

Calculate the average speed of the car from 0 to 0.75 h.

(b)[2]

Describe the difference in speed and explain how Fig. 3.1 shows this on the graph.
