Question 2:
The graph below shows the free fall of an object.

Explain the graph.
Answer:
• Before being released, the displacement of the object is zero. The object is stationary.
• At the moment the object is released, it moves with low velocity.
• This can be seen in the small value of gradient.
• In the final stage when the object is in free fall, it moves with velocity greater than at the initial stage.
• This can be seen in the greater value of gradient.
