Question 3

The engineers at a car company conduct various tests on their cars. During one of the tests they measure the change in position during equal time intervals. The results obtained are recorded in the table below.

3.1 Give the correct term for change of position per unit time. (1)


3.2 For this test, write down the:


3.2.1 Independent variable (1)


3.2.2 Dependent variable (1)


3.3 Use the information in the table above and draw an accurate position-time graph on the graph paper on the attached ANSWER SHEET. (5)


3.4 Calculate the gradient of the graph. (4)


3.5 Draw (NOT to scale) a corresponding velocity-time graph for the motion of the car. Labels the axes. (2)


3.6 Hence, deduce the magnitude of the acceleration of the car. (2)
