TopicConstant acceleration (SUVAT)
TypeDistance in nth second
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a straightforward two-part SUVAT question requiring standard application of kinematic equations. Part (a) uses s=ut+½at² or v²=u²+2as with one unknown, and part (b) requires finding distance in a specific time interval—both are routine M1 exercises with no conceptual challenges beyond applying memorized formulas correctly.
Spec3.02d Constant acceleration: SUVAT formulae

2. A motorbike is moving with constant acceleration along a straight horizontal road. The motorbike passes a point \(P\) and 10 seconds later passes a point \(Q\). The speed of the motorbike as it passes \(Q\) is \(28 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) Given that \(P Q = 220 \mathrm {~m}\),
  1. find the acceleration of the motorbike,
  2. find the distance travelled by the motorbike during the fifth second after passing \(P\) VILV SIHI NI IIII M I ON OC

\(220 = (28 \times 10) - \frac{1}{2}a \times 10^2\)M1 A1 Complete method to find equation in \(a\) only (note \(u=16\)). Allow \(220=(28\times10)+\frac{1}{2}a\times10^2\) for 'reverse' motion leading to \(a=-1.2\): M1A0A0, but if they then change \(a\) to \(1.2\): M1A1A1 retrospectively. M0 if \(u=0\) assumed
Other valid equations: \(28 = u+10a\); \(220=\frac{(u+28)}{2}\times10\); \(220=10u+\frac{1}{2}a\times10^2\); \(28^2=u^2+2a\times220\) Any 2 of these could be used to obtain equation in \(a\) only
