Question 12 marksGrade 7
A particle's displacement-time graph is a straight line from (0,2) to (6,20), where displacement is in metres and time is in seconds.
Find the constant velocity of the particle. [2]
What are the common mistakes in Kinematics graphs?
When a pupil makes one of these on Revision Workshop, the marking engine names the mistake and explains it, instead of just marking the answer wrong.
Sketches an acceleration-time graph with the same shape as the velocity-time graph, instead of representing the velocity graph's gradient
Acceleration is the GRADIENT of the velocity-time graph - since that gradient is constant (−3) throughout, the acceleration-time graph is a HORIZONTAL line at height −3, not a sloped line matching the velocity-time graph's own shape.
Finds where a graph crosses the vertical axis (by setting the horizontal variable to zero) when asked for where it crosses the horizontal axis (by setting the function to zero), or vice versa
The graph crosses the t-axis where v=0

Show the worked solution
Velocity is the gradient of the displacement-time graph: 6−020−2=618=3 m/s.
Question 22 marksGrade 8
A particle's velocity-time graph is a straight line with gradient −3 for the whole of the first 5 seconds. Describe the shape of the corresponding acceleration-time graph over these 5 seconds, and state the acceleration. [2]
Show the worked solution
Acceleration is the gradient of the velocity-time graph. Since the velocity-time graph is a straight line, its gradient is constant throughout - −3 m/s2.
So the acceleration-time graph is a horizontal line at a=−3.
Question 33 marksGrade 8
A particle's velocity is given by v=t2−4t+3 m/s for 0≤t≤4.
State the value(s) of t at which the velocity-time graph crosses the t-axis (i.e. the particle is instantaneously at rest). [3]
Gives the total change in a quantity as the rate itself instead of dividing by the change in the independent variable
18 is the total CHANGE in displacement (20−2), not the velocity - velocity is the GRADIENT of a displacement-time graph, found by dividing the change in displacement by the change in time: 618=3 m/s.
