Worksheet 2.3 18: Changkat Changi Secondary School Physics Department Upper Secondary

This physics worksheet contains questions about kinematics and motion graphs. It asks students to identify concepts such as constant acceleration, terminal velocity, and changes in speed from graphs. It also has structured questions asking students to analyze speed-time graphs of falling objects and parachutists. Students must determine acceleration, distances fallen, and terminal velocities from the graphs provided. The worksheet aims to test students' understanding of kinematics concepts and their ability to extract information from visual representations of motion.
