Exam-style question
Try this first
A particle has u = 4 m s^-1, a = 2 m s^-2 and t = 5 s. Find v.
- A.14 m s^-1
- B.15
- C.13
- D.28
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The correct answer is 14 m s^-1.
This answer is tied to the objective: Q2 Understand, use and interpret graphs in kinematics for motion in a straight line, including displacement against time with gradient interpretation and velocity against time with gradient and area interpretation..
Explanation
Why this works
Use the explanation to connect the worked answer back to Q2 Understand, use and interpret graphs in kinematics for motion in a straight line, including displacement against time with gradient interpretation and velocity against time with gradient and area interpretation..
The locked answer is 14 m s^-1. Work through the given values, keep one operation per line, and check the final step reaches 14 m s^-1.
Maths method check
- Topic focus: Mechanics.
- Question style: practice.
- Reasoning demand: recall.
