Use the equation above to find the missing values in the following table:

2. A car of length 3•5 m passes a student. The student records a time of 2•4 s between the front and the back of the car passing her.
Calculate the instantaneous speed of the car.
3. A train of length 150 m takes 1•42 s to enter a tunnel.
Calculate the instantaneous speed of the train.

4. The following experiment is set up to investigate the change in speed as a trolley rolls down a ramp.

(a) Calculate the speed of the trolley as it passes through the top light gate.
(b) Calculate the speed of the trolley as it passes through the bottom light gate.
