Sketch a displacement - time graph to show your motion for the following event. You are walking at aconstant speed across a field after jumping off a gate, Suddenly you see a horse and stop. Your friend says there's no danger, so you walk on at a reduced constant speed. The horse neigh, and you run back to the gate. Explain how each section of the walk relates to a section of your graph.

An old car travels due south.The distance it travels at hourly intervals is shown in the table
Time / h | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Distance / km | 0 | 23 | 46 | 69 | 84 |
From the distance-time graph deduce the car's speed in during the first three hours of the journey

What is the car's average speed in during the whole journey,

You walk due north and then due east.
Calculate the total distance in you have travelled.

You walk due north and then due east. Make a scale drawing of your walk, and use it to find your final displacement. Remember to give both the magnitude and the direction.
