A man rides a bike along a straight road for 5 min, then has a flat tire. He stops for 5 min to repair the flat, but can’t fix it. He walks the rest of the way, which takes him another 10 min. Use the particle model to draw a motion diagram of the man for the entire motion described here. Number the dots in order, starting with zero.
A cyclist rides 60 kilometres at constant speed of 40 km/h.
a Sketch the distance–time graph.
b Sketch the speed–time graph.

- A frog fell down an abandoned Well which was 15 meters deep. He found it difficult to jump up the coated walls. He started his long jump up the Well at 6am. It took him him 15 minutes to jump three meters because the walls were so slippery. At the end of every 15 minute period he rested for 5 minutes while he sadly slipped down one meter. He continued on at the same rate. At what time did he finally reach the top of the Well?
