  • Q5
    A trolley travels down a slope. It is stationary at the start and gets faster as it moves. A student takes measurements and calculates: (distance travelled) ÷ (time taken). What has the student found?
    the speed at the end
    the average speed
    the speed at the start
    the acceleration

  • Q6
    A trolley is stationary at position A and then accelerates along the track. A student wants to measure the trolley’s average acceleration between A and C. Which of these calculations should be used?
    Question Image
    (average speed between A and D) ÷ (time from A to C)
    (average speed between B and D) ÷ (time from A to C)
