Distance Time Graphs Questions

The document contains a series of questions related to distance-time graphs for two scenarios: Zara's athletics journey and a car's motion. It includes tasks such as drawing graphs, calculating speeds, and analyzing motion over time. The questions are designed to assess understanding of speed, distance, and time relationships in physics.

0 1 . 5 Before Zara started to sprint, she was standing beside her friend, Ravi.
Ravi remains at rest for the first 40 seconds of her journey, but as soon
as she starts walking towards the finish line, he tries to catch up by
jogging towards her at a steady speed of 5 m/s.

Sketch his distance-time graph using the above axes.
