CAPE Physics Unit 1 · 2013 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)(ii)

A 1 kg ball is dropped from a height 'h'. Its downward velocity 'v' is measured at various times 't' until it hits the ground. Table 1 shows these measurements.

On the grid provided on page 5, plot a graph of velocity, v, against time, t.

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