| Velocity-time graphs 1 |   |
| The graph below shows a velocity - time
graph for the motion of a particle. The motion has three stages. Stage 1. The particle travels from rest with constant accleration for t=t1 seconds. Stage 2. The particle travels at constant velocity from t = t1 to t=t2 seconds. Stage 3. The particle travels with constant deceleration until it stops at time t=t3. The area under the graph represents the total distance travelled. |
|
| Find the total distance travelled in these cases: | |
| 1 | When constant acceleration = 1 ms-2, t1 = 3 seconds, t2 = 6 seconds, t3 = 9 seconds. |
| 2 | When constant acceleration = 1.5 ms-2, t1 = 4 seconds, t2 = 6 seconds, t3 = 12 seconds. |
