    displacement of 725 m in 10 s. Find its acceleration. [ 5.5 ms-2 ]

    1 2
    s=ut+ a t

    Find the velocity of projection (i.e. the initial velocity) [ 50ms-1 ]

    2 2
    v =u +2 as
    0=u2−2 ( 10 ) ( 125 )

    9. A rocket rises vertically, from rest, with an acceleration of


    3.2 ms-2 until it runs out of fuel at an altitude of 1200 m. After
    this point, its acceleration is that of gravity, downward.

    fuel? [87.6 m/s]

    10. The graph below shows the speeds of two cars A and B which
    are travelling in the same direction over a period of 40 s. Car
    A, travelling at a constant speed of 40 m/s overtakes car B at
    time t = 0.

    In order to catch up with car A, car B immediately accelerates


    uniformly for 20 s to reach a constant speed of 50 m/s.

    (a) How far does car A travel during the first 20 s

    (b) Calculate the acceleration of car B in the first 20 s

    (c) How far does car B travel in this time?


    (d) What additional time will it take for car B to catch up with
    car A?

    (e) How far will each car have then travelled since t = 0?
