(a) The velocity-time graph of a car is given below. The car weighs 1000 kg.
(i) What is the distance travelled by the car in the first 2 seconds?
(ii) What is the braking force at the end of 5 seconds to bring the car to a stop within one second?
(b) Derive the equation S = ut + 1/2 at square using graphical method.

Dear  student
a) Distance =area between velocity time graph (from 0 to 2 sec)d=12×15×2=15mb)Force=mass ×accelerationF=1000×(0-151)=-15×1000=-15 kNRegards
