    Crash tests are used to measure car safety. In one type of test, a car accelerates along a track and crashes into a barrier. The velocity-time graph shows the results of one test, where the car accelerated from 0 to over 28 m/s before hitting the barrier.

    12. Crash tests are used to measure the safety of new car designs. In one type of test, a car
    accelerates along a straight and level track and then crashes into a barrier.

    Use information from the graph to answer the questions.

    (i) Calculate the acceleration of the car from the start to the barrier.
    Show your working and give the unit.

    ................................................................................................................................

    ................................................................................................................................

    Acceleration = .........................................
    (3)

    (ii) Calculate the distance in metres the car travels from the start to the barrier.
    Show your working.

    ................................................................................................................................

    ................................................................................................................................

    Distance = ..................................... m
    (3)

    (iii) The car hits the barrier and a short time later it stops.
    How long in seconds is this short time?

    ................................................................................................................................

    Time = ....................................... s
    (1)

    (b) (i) State the equation which relates acceleration, mass and unbalanced force.

    ................................................................................................................................
    (1)

    (ii) When another car hits the barrier, it experiences an unbalanced force of 25 000 N
    and decelerates at 20 m/s2.
    Calculate the mass in kilograms of the car.

    ................................................................................................................................

    ................................................................................................................................

    Mass = .................................... kg
