Kinematics

CIE-style questions assess definitions, graph interpretation, uniform acceleration, free fall and projectile motion.

Objective question 1

A runner completes a closed lap. Which quantity must be zero?

Objective question 2

The gradient of a displacement–time graph is:

Objective question 3

The signed area under a velocity–time graph is:

Objective question 4

At the highest point of projectile motion:

Objective question 5

Which equation excludes time?

Structured question 1

A car accelerates uniformly from 4.0 to 16 m s⁻¹ in 6.0 s. Calculate its acceleration.

Structured question 2

The same car accelerates from 4.0 to 16 m s⁻¹ in 6.0 s. Calculate its displacement.

Structured question 3

A ball is projected horizontally at 10 m s⁻¹ and falls for 1.5 s. Calculate its horizontal range.
