Motion — practice question

Fig. 1.1 presents the speed-time graph for a vehicle starting from rest.
(a)[2]

Calculate the acceleration of the vehicle when time = 30 s.

(b)[3]

Without any further calculation, state how the acceleration at time = 100 s compares with the acceleration at time = 10 s. Suggest, in terms of force, why this change has occurred.

(c)[3]

Determine the distance travelled by the vehicle from time = 120 s to time = 160 s.
