- Draw the displacement-time sketch and find the average velocity of the car.
- What will be the displacement of the car at (i) 2.5 s and (ii) 4.5 s?
Figure given below shows a velocity-time graph for a car starting from rest. The graph has three parts AB, BC and CD.

State how is the distance travelled in any part determined from this graph .
A body starts with an initial velocity of 10m s-1 and acceleration 5 m s-2. Find the distance covered by it in 5 s.

- The initial velocity of the bus
- The distance travelled by bus during this time.
From the displacement – time graph shown given below calculate :
- Velocity between 0 – 2 s.
- Velocity between 8 s – 12 s.
