Sketch what the corresponding Velocity-Time graph would look like for the above graph
What is the average velocity from 0-2 seconds (the position at 2 sec is 14 m)?
What is the average velocity from 0-3 seconds (position at 3 sec is 31.5 m)?

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.
