Motion — practice question

Fig. 1.1 shows the speed-time graph of an ice skater.
(a)[1]

Describe the skater’s motion from $t = 0$ to $t = 3.0\,\text{s}$.

(b)[2]

Calculate the distance covered by the skater between $t = 0$ and $t = 3.0\,\text{s}$.

(c(i))[1]

State what is meant by deceleration.

(c(ii))[3]

Draw a tangent to the graph at $t = 9.0\,\text{s}$. Use that tangent to calculate the skater’s deceleration at $t = 9.0\,\text{s}$.
