Original questions written at exam standard. Work each one before you open the solution.

Difficulty
Question 1 Foundation
A particle has displacement s=4t23ts = 4t^2 - 3t metres. Find its velocity when t=2t = 2.
Question 2 Foundation
A particle has velocity v=6t2v = 6t - 2 m s1^{-1}. Find its acceleration.
Question 3 Standard
A particle has s=t33t2s = t^3 - 3t^2. Find the times at which it is instantaneously at rest.
Question 4 Standard
A particle has velocity v=2t+1v = 2t + 1 m s1^{-1} and s=0s = 0 when t=0t = 0. Find its displacement when t=3t = 3.
Question 5 Stretch
A velocity-time graph rises in a straight line from (0,0)(0,0) to (5,20)(5, 20), then runs horizontally to (9,20)(9, 20). Velocity is in m s1^{-1} and time in seconds. Find the total distance travelled.
Question 6 Stretch
A particle has velocity v=3t212t+9v = 3t^2 - 12t + 9 m s1^{-1} and starts at the origin. Find the total distance travelled in the first 4 seconds.
