Problem
The velocity of a car was recorded at equal time intervals. The data are shown below.
Time t (s): 0 2 4 6 8
Velocity v (m/s):\; 0 5 10 15 20
(i) Calculate the acceleration of the car for each 2s interval.
(ii) On the basis of your calculations decide whether the acceleration is uniform. State your reasoning in one sentence.
(iii) Find the total displacement of the car in the first 8s of motion.
