 Science 8

10.1) a: Ared car travels $120km$ in one hour. A blue car travels $130km$ in the same time. Which car has the greater average speed?
b: Runner Atakes 45s to run $400m$. Runner B takes 48s to run the same distance. Which runner has the greater average speed?
c: A bus travels a distance of $100km$ in $2/5 h$. Calculate its average speed.
Give your answer in $km/h$.

10.2) A driver can work out her average speed using the instruments in her car.
The picture shows the clock and the distance meter at the beginning of a journey, and at the end. The distance meter gives the total distance travelled by the car in its lifetime, in kilometres.

clock                       beginning                              end distance meter       beginning                               end

a: How much time has passed between the beginning and end of the journey?
b: How far has the car travelled in this time?
c: Calculate the car's average speed during the journey. Show your working

10.3) A train is travelling at an average speed of $150km/h$.
a: How far will it travel in $2/4hours$? Show your working.
b: How long will it take to travel between two stations $525km$ apart?
Show your working

10.4) Here are three distance/time graphs, A-C.

A distance                            time  B distance                            time  C distance                            time 

a: Which graph represents the journey of a car moving at a steady speed?
b: Which graph represents the journey of a car whose speed is increasing?
c: The distance/time graph below represents the movement of two cars, blue and red.

distance blue car red car time

Which car has the greater speed? Explain how you can tell.

10.5) The distance/time graph below represents part of the journey of a train.
Study the graph and answer the questions that follow.

distance/m time/s

a: How far did the train travel in $50s$?
b: Calculate the train's average speed. Show your working.
