  1. 1a)
  2. Similarity and difference between velocity and speed.
  3. Both have a unit of ms^-1 , Velocity has a direction where as speed does not.
  4.  
  5. 1b)
  6. Circle track with a radius of 0.60m completes a full circuit in 12s, find the speed.
  7. Distance = 2 x pie x 0.6 = 3.8m
  8. 3.8/12 =0.32 ms^-2
  9.  
  10. 1c)
  11. What is the total displacement of the locomotive after a quarter of the track.
  12. 0.6^2 + 0.6^2 = 0.72m
  13. Sqroot of 0.72 = 0.85m
  14.  
  15. 1d)
  16. The locomotive travels at a constant speed why is the velocity always changing
  17. This is because velocity is calculated using displacement which has a direction so velocity also has a direction meaning the velocity changes as the direction changes
