IB Physics HL A 1 1 Position Velocity and Acceleration Questions

Analyse motion graphs and trajectories to determine position, velocity, acceleration and average speed from evidence.

Exam points

Describe and interpret position, velocity and acceleration in one-dimensional motion using equations, vectors and motion graphs.
Use gradients and areas on displacement–time and velocity–time graphs to determine motion quantities.

A student throws a ball towards a wall. The ball is released from a point 1.8 m above the ground and 8.0 m from the wall. The initial velocity of the ball makes an angle of $48^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Air resistance is negligible.

The diagram shows the initial path of the ball. P is a point on the path.
