Question
An object is thrown upwards leaving the thrower’s hand at time t=0. Which graph shows how speed v varies with t as the object rises and falls?
Markscheme
A
Examiners report
Response C was the most popular one at both levels. The magnitude of the gradient is the acceleration due to gravity, which of course is constant close to the Earth‟s surface.
