A graph shows acceleration from 0 to 8 m/s over 5 seconds. Calculate the distance travelled.
Q8 of 18
0/1
Why does the triangle formula include a ½?
Q9 of 18
0/1
What shape does a velocity-time graph form when an object is already moving and then speeds up?

Velocity goes from 4 m/s to 10 m/s over 6 seconds. Calculate the distance travelled using the trapezium formula.
Q12 of 18
0/1
A trapezium is split into a rectangle and a triangle. The rectangle area is 24 m and the triangle area is 18 m. What is the total distance?
Q13 of 18
0/1
A journey has three phases: accelerate, cruise, then brake. How do you find the total distance?
Q14 of 18
0/1
Complete the sentence:
Q15 of 18
0/1
True or False: If the time axis is in minutes, you should convert to seconds before calculating area.
Q16 of 18
0/1
A graph shows velocity rising from 2 m/s to 8 m/s over 5 seconds, then staying at 8 m/s for 3 seconds. What is the total distance?
Q17 of 18
0/1
True or False: Forgetting the ½ in the triangle formula doubles the distance.
Q18 of 18
0/1
