1. The graph at right depicts
the motion of a motorbike
down a straight section of
road (positive is North).
Sketch the corresponding
velocity-time graph.
Your graph should have 5 horizontal line segments:
At 0 m/s from 0 to 10 s
At 20 m/s from 10 to 25 s
At 0 m/s from 25 to 30 s
At -40 m/s from 30 to 45 s
At 0 m/s from 45 to 60 s
The graph at right depicts the
straight-line motion of a dog
running along a footpath (positive
is North). Describe each segment
of the motion in words.
A: running forward at constant speed
B: running forward and speeding up
C: running forward and slowing down
D: at rest
E: running backward and speeding up
F: running backward at constant speed

brakes and stops in 5.0 s. On a separate
piece of graph paper, draw the (a) positiontime and (b) velocity-time graphs of its
motion.
