TopicSUVAT & Travel Graphs

1 A bus slows down as it approaches a bus stop. It stops at the bus stop and remains at rest for a short time as the passengers get on. It then accelerates away from the bus stop. The graph shows how the velocity of the bus varies.

  1. State the length of time for which the bus is at rest.
  2. Find the distance travelled by the bus in the first 40 seconds.
  3. Find the total distance travelled by the bus in the 120 -second period.
  4. Find the average speed of the bus in the 120 -second period.
  5. If the bus had not stopped but had travelled at a constant \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) for the 120 -second period, how much further would it have travelled?
