Question 1

What is displacement?

Answer 1

» Distance in a given direction from a certain point

Question 2

What is the shape of a ball being thrown up in a displacement time graph?

Answer 2

» Negative parabola

Question 3

Describe the shape of a ball being thrown up?

Answer 3

» As ball rises, velocity decreases so does gradeint
» At max height, velocity is 0 so the gradient is 0
» As ball descend, velocity becomes increasingly negative in a downward direction
