The graph shows the distance a person walked on a short journey.

Between points A and B the person is​ (a)   .

Between points B and C the person is​ ​ (b)   .

• walking at constant speed
• stationary
• walking with a decreasing speed

The graph shows the distance a person walked on a short journey.

You can tell that the speed of the person between points A and B is​ (a)  

than the speed between points C and D because ​ (b)   .

• faster
• slope is more
• slower
• slope is smaller

Write the equation which relates distance, speed and time.

A high-speed train accelerates at a constant rate in a straight line.

The velocity of the train increases from 30 m/s to 42 m/s in 60 seconds.

Calculate the change in the velocity of the train.

A high-speed train accelerates at a constant rate in a straight line.

The velocity of the train increases from 30 m/s to 42 m/s in 60 seconds.

Use the equation in the box to calculate the acceleration of the train.
