7. Examples: i.
It takes 15 minutes to walk to the 7 Spice Restaurant. If Ahmad walks with a speed of 2ms-1, calculate the distance to the restaurant.
8. The Equation of Motion For an object in linear motion with uniform acceleration, we can solve problems using the following equation: s = displacement u= initial velocity v= final velocity a= constant acceleration t= time interval
9. Examples: i. In the 100 m sprint event at the Asian Games, the Malaysian sprinter accelerates uniformly for 7 s from rest. His displacement is 50 m. Determine his acceleration.
ii.
A car travelling at 20 ms-1 has a braking distance of 50 m. Determine the acceleration of the car.

3. An aeroplane flies from A to B, which is located 300 km east of A. Upon reaching B, the aeroplane then flies to C, which is located 400 km north. The total time of flight is 4 hours. Calculate (i) The speed of the aeroplane (ii) The velocity of the aeroplane Answers:
4. A lorry is moving at 30 m s-1, when suddenly the driver steps on the brakes
Displacement
7. A bus stops at a station to pick passengers up. It then moves and attains a velocity of 15 ms in 8 seconds. What is the acceleration of the bus?
9. A cargo ship sails across the Straits of Malacca towards Klang North Port.
Within a given time, it can accelerate 0.25 ms-2 in 52 s from its initial velocity of 2 ms-1. Determine its final velocity at the end of the accelerating period.
10. A lorry approaches a traffic light at 15 ms-1. The light turns red ad the driver
applies the brakes at a distance of 25 m from the junction and decelerates at 5 ms-2. Can the lorry come to a complete stop before reaching the stop line at the traffic light? (Yes / No)
