    (a) Draw the velocity-time graph for the journey.

    (b) Calculate the acceleration and the distance travelled in each part of the journey.

    (c) Calculate the average speed for the journey.

    velocity of the car as it moves from A to B.

    (d) Explain why there is acceleration as the car moves from A to B.

    (b) the average deceleration of the bullet.

    10.A student drops a stone into a well and hears it hit the bottom of the well 1.8s later.
    Assuming that g = 9.81 m s-2 and that the effect of air resistance is negligible, calculate:

    (a) the distance fallen by the stone.

    (b) the speed of the stone immediately before impact.
