A brick is dislodged from a building and falls vertically under gravity. Which graph best represents the variation of its height h above the ground with time t if air resistance is negligible?
Aheight-time graph showing a curve starting at a maximum height and curving downwards, reaching h=0 with increasing negative slope.
Bheight-time graph showing a straight line with a constant negative slope, starting at a maximum height and reaching h=0.
Cheight-time graph showing a curve starting at h=0 and curving upwards, reaching a maximum height with increasing positive slope.
Dheight-time graph showing a curve starting at a maximum height and curving downwards, with the slope decreasing in magnitude (flatter).
