5. A car is travelling along a straight horizontal road. The car takes 120s to travel between
two sets of traffic lights which are 2145m apart. The car starts from rest at the first set of
traffic lights and moves with constant acceleration for 30s until its speed is 22ms
–1. The
car maintains this speed for T seconds. The car then moves with constant deceleration,
coming to rest at the second set of traffic lights.
(a) Sketch, in the space below, a speed-time graph for the motion of the car between the
two sets of traffic lights.
(b) Find the value of T

5. A motorcycle leaves the first set of traffic lights 10s after the car has left the first set of
traffic lights. The motorcycle moves from rest with constant acceleration, a ms
–2, and
passes the car at the point A which is 990m from the first set of traffic lights. When the
motorcycle passes the car, the car is moving with speed 22 ms
–1.
(c) Find the time it takes for the motorcycle to move from the first set of traffic lights to
the point A.

4. A car is moving on a straight horizontal road. At time t = 0, the car is moving with speed
20 ms
–1 and is at the point A. The car maintains the speed of 20 ms
–1 for 25 s. The car
then moves with constant deceleration 0.4 ms
–2, reducing its speed from 20 ms
–1 to
8 m s–1. The car then moves with constant speed 8 ms
–1 for 60 s. The car then moves with
constant acceleration until it is moving with speed 20 ms
–1 at the point B.
(a) Sketch a speed-time graph to represent the motion of the car from A to B.
(b) Find the time for which the car is decelerating.
Given that the distance from A to B is 1960 m,
(c) find the time taken for the car to move from A to B.

4. A car is moving along a straight horizontal road. The speed of the car as it passes the point
A is 25 ms
–1 and the car maintains this speed for 30s. The car then decelerates uniformly
to a speed of 10 ms
–1. The speed of 10 ms
–1 is then maintained until the car passes the
point B. The time taken to travel from A to B is 90s and AB = 1410m.
(a) Sketch, in the space below, a speed-time graph to show the motion of the car from A
to B.
(b) Calculate the deceleration of the car as it decelerates from 25 ms
–1 to 10 ms
–1.
