CAPE Physics Unit 1 · 2004 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)

A ball is released on an inclined plane, and the distance travelled is measured at intervals as it rolls down the slope. A distance against time graph is drawn.

Find the gradient of the graph when t = 0.5 s.

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