The speed-time graph shows the journey that Lim makes during a three-hour journey.

- (a)
Find the acceleration at 0815.
Answer ___ km/h^2
- (b)
The corresponding distance-time graph for Lim's journey is shown below.
Find the value of p and of q.
Answer p = ___, q = ___

Worked solution
17(a)
1. Find the gradient of the speed-time graph segment containing 0815
From 0800 to 0830, the speed decreases from km/h to km/h.
Time taken min h.
17(b)
1. Find the distance travelled from 0800 to 0830 to get $p$
From 0800 to 0830, the time taken is .\n\nThe distance is the area of the trapezium under the speed-time graph:\n
2. Add the distance travelled from 0830 to 0930 to get $q$
From 0830 to 0930, the speed is constant at for .\n\nDistance travelled in this interval:\n\n\nHence\n
