| Topic | Travel graphs |
| Type | Displacement-time graph interpretation or sketching |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward displacement-time graph question requiring only basic gradient calculations and understanding the difference between displacement and distance. Part (a) involves simple arithmetic (7m + 4m = 11m) and part (b) is a routine gradient calculation (change in s / change in t). No problem-solving insight needed, just direct application of definitions. |
