1. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

The change in the position of an object with time can be represented on the distance-time graph adopting a convenient
scale of choice. In the distance-time graph, time is taken along the x–axis and distance is taken along the y-axis.

i. A man travels a distance of 1.5 m towards East, then 2.0 m towards South and finally 4.5 m towards East. What
is the total distance traveled?
a) 8m
b) 16m
c) 5m
d) 7m
ii. Four cars A, B, C and D are moving on a levelled road. Their distance versus time graphs are shown in the
adjacent figure. Choose the correct statement.

a) Car C is the slowest

b) Car D is faster than car C
c) Car B is the slowest

11. An electric engine has a velocity of 120 kmh-1. How much distance will it travel in 30 s?
12. A train travels the first 15 km at a uniform speed of 30 kmh-1, the next 75 km at a uniform speed of 50 kmh-1, and the
last 10 km at a uniform speed of 20 kmh-1. Calculate the average speed for the entire train journey.
13. The average time taken by a normal person to react to an emergency is one fifteenth of a second and is called the
'reaction time'. If a bus is moving with a velocity of 60 kmh-1 and its driver sees a child running across the road, how
much distance would the bus had moved before he could press the brakes? The reaction time of the people increases
when they are intoxicated. How much distance had the bus moved if the reaction time of the driver were 1/2 s under the
influence of alcohol?
