| Topic | Constant acceleration (SUVAT) |
| Type | Read and interpret velocity-time graph |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward mechanics question requiring students to find the area under a speed-time graph (trapezium rule) and then divide by time for average speed. Both parts are direct applications of standard formulas with no problem-solving or conceptual challenges beyond basic graph interpretation. |
