The velocity of an object changes with time t as shown. [Graph] Which graph best shows the variation with time t of the displacement s of the object?
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.
AGraph of displacement s vs time t, starting at 0, increasing to a maximum, then decreasing into negative values parabolically.
BGraph of displacement s vs time t, starting at 0, increasing linearly, then constant, then decreasing linearly.
CGraph of displacement s vs time t, starting at 0, increasing with a decreasing positive gradient, then flattening out.
DGraph of displacement s vs time t, starting at 0, increasing linearly, then decreasing linearly to 0, then increasing linearly.
✓ Correct answer
A: Graph of displacement s vs time t, starting at 0, increasing to a maximum, then decreasing into negative values parabolically.
