4 The diagram shows the velocity-time graph for a particle travelling in a straight line with velocity, vms⁻¹, at time t seconds. When t = 30 the velocity of the particle is Vms⁻¹. The particle travels 800 metres in 45 seconds. [Figure 4.1]

  1. (a)Find the value of V.[2]
  2. (b)Find the acceleration of the particle when t = 35.[2]

  1. [2] M1 For attempt to find the area, allow one error and one omission.
  2. 1/2 (10 × 10) + (10 × 10) + 1/2 (10(10 + V)) + 15V/2 = 800
  3. A1 V = 48
  4. [2] M1 Allow omission of negative sign.
  5. (-their V)/15
  6. A1 FT on their V but must be negative.
