Graphs 3

The document contains graphs and questions about motion. It includes a position-time graph titled "Speeding Up" showing an object's position increasing over time. The corresponding velocity-time graph shows velocity increasing from 0 m/s to a maximum of 10 m/s between 0-3 seconds. Another graph shows a ball dropping, with position decreasing over time, indicating constant downward acceleration due to gravity.

Why is the graph titled “ball drop”? Hint, use your velocity at 2 s and the fact that the starting velocity
is 0 m/s to work out the acceleration of the ball.
