Moderate -1.0 This is a standard mechanics question on interpreting velocity-time graphs and calculating distance as the area under the curve. It requires basic recall of the relationship between velocity, time, and distance, with straightforward numerical calculations typical of M1 level—easier than average A-level maths questions.

Answer all the questions.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
Where a numerical value for the acceleration due to gravity is needed, use \(10 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
The use of an electronic calculator is expected, where appropriate.
You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers.
At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. [0pt]
The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question.
