Worked solution

17(a)

1. Find the gradient of the speed-time graph segment containing 0815

From 0800 to 0830, the speed decreases from 100100 km/h to 6060 km/h.

Time taken =30=30 min =0.5=0.5 h.

acceleration=change in speedchange in time=60−1000.5=−80 km/h2\text{acceleration}=\frac{\text{change in speed}}{\text{change in time}}=\frac{60-100}{0.5}=-80\text{ km/h}^2

Answer

−80 km/h2-80\text{ km/h}^2

17(b)

1. Find the distance travelled from 0800 to 0830 to get $p$

From 0800 to 0830, the time taken is 30 min=0.5 h30\text{ min}=0.5\text{ h}.\n\nThe distance is the area of the trapezium under the speed-time graph:\np=12(100+60)(0.5)=40p=\frac12(100+60)(0.5)=40

2. Add the distance travelled from 0830 to 0930 to get $q$

From 0830 to 0930, the speed is constant at 60 km/h60\text{ km/h} for 1 h1\text{ h}.\n\nDistance travelled in this interval:\n60×1=60 km60\times 1=60\text{ km}\n\nHence\nq=p+60=40+60=100q=p+60=40+60=100

Answer

p=40 km, q=100 kmp=40\text{ km},\ q=100\text{ km}
