CSEC Physics · May/June 2011 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)

A taxi driver is taking friends to a cricket match. Table 1 shows the vehicle's velocity for the first minute of the journey.

Plot on page 3, a graph of velocity (V) versus time (t).

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
