Suppose a squirrel is moving at a steady speed from the base of a tree towards some nuts. It then stays in the same position for a while, eating the nuts, before returning to the tree at the same speed. A graph can be plotted with distance on the x-axis and the time on y-axis.

Observe the graph carefully and answer the following questions. (i) Which part of the graph shows the squirrel moving away from the tree? (ii) Name the point on the graph which is 6 m away from the base of the tree. (ii) Which part of the graph shows that the squirrel is not moving? (iv) Which part of the graph shows that the squirrel is returning to the tree? (v) Calculate the speed of the squirrel from the graph during its journey.

A girl walks along a straight path to drop a letter in the letterbox and comes back to her initial position. Her displacement-time graph is shown in figure. Plot a velocity-time graph for the same.

Four cars A, B, C and D are moving on a levelled road. Their distance versus time are shown in figure. Which car is the slowest?

The driver of train A travelling at a speed of 54 kmh-1 applies brakes and retards the train uniformly. The train stops in 5 seconds. Another train B is travelling on the parallel with a speed of 36 kmh-1 . Its driver applies the brakes and the train retards uniformly; train B stops in 10 seconds. Plot speed-time graphs for both the trains on the same axis. Which of the trains travelled farther after the brakes were applied?
