A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a cliff. Air resistance is negligible. Which graph shows the variation with time of the vertical component of the stone's velocity?
This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.
A[Diagram A: Velocity-time graph showing constant positive velocity.]
B[Diagram B: Velocity-time graph showing increasing velocity with decreasing gradient (concave down).]
C[Diagram C: Velocity-time graph showing increasing velocity with increasing gradient (concave up).]
D[Diagram D: Velocity-time graph showing linearly increasing velocity with constant positive gradient.]
✓ Correct answer
D: [Diagram D: Velocity-time graph showing linearly increasing velocity with constant positive gradient.]
