Question statement

A car is moving along a straight road with uniform acceleration

The car passes a point A with a speed of $\var{u}\,ms^{-1}$ and another point B with a speed of $\var{v}\,ms^{-1}$

The distance from A to B is $\var{s}\,m$

(a) Find the time taken by the car to move from A to B

M is the mid-point of AB

(b) Find the speed with which the car passes M

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

The time taken by the car to move from A to B = Unnamed gap seconds

Advice

(a)	$u = \var{u}; v = \var{v}; s = \var{s}; t = \,?$

	Using $s = \frac{1}{2}(u+v)t\,\,$ and rearranging for $t$ gives

	$t = \frac{2 \times s}{u+v} = \frac{2 \times \var{s}}{\var{u}+\var{v}} = \var{precround(t,3)}\,$ seconds

(b)	Find the acceleration of the car using $v = u + at$

	$a = \frac{v-u}{t} = \frac{\var{v}-\var{u}}{\var{precround(t,3)}} = \var{precround(a,3)}\,ms^{-2}$



	Then for the car travelling from A to M, we have
	$u = \var{u}; v = \,?; a = \var{precround(a,3)}; s = \var{precround(s1,2)}$

	Using $v^{2} = u^{2}+2as$ gives

	$v^{2} = (\var{u})^{2}+(2 \times \var{precround(a,3)} \times \var{s})$

	$v = \var{precround(v1,3)}\,ms^{-1}$

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
