2002 1(b) (i)
A particle, with initial speed u, moves in a straight line
with constant acceleration.
During the time interval from 0 to t, the particle travels a distance
p .
During the time interval from t to 2t, the particle travels
a distance q.
During the time interval from 2t to 3t, the particle travels
a distance r.
(i) Show that 2q = p
+ r.
(ii) Show that the particle travels
a further distance
in the time interval
from 3t to 4t.
ANSWER
no
"v"
thus
(ii) Let x be the distance travelled
in the time interval from 3t to 4t.
Find r.
