CAPE Physics Unit 1 · 2010 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)(ii)

A ball of mass 0.60 kg is released from rest at the top of an inclined plane. A block is fixed at the bottom. The velocity (v) of the ball down the plane is measured at various times (t). Table 1 provides the velocity-time data.

Using your graph, describe qualitatively the motion of the ball.

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