Question 1:
On a distance–time graph (distance on the vertical axis, time on the horizontal axis):
This matches option B.The slope of the line equals the constant speed.
The greater the speed, the steeper the line.

Responses may give guidance but the A.I. might not be able to answer the question! This is particularly the case for questions based on diagrams, which the A.I. typically cannot interpret.
Grade Gorilla uses Gemini, Deepseek and a range of other A.I. chatbots to generate the saved responses. Some answers have had human intervention for clarity or where the A.I. has not been able to answer the question.
Question 2
A stationary athlete → A horizontal line (zero slope).
Distance does not change as time increases.
The line is flat at the distance value where the athlete is stationary.
This matches option A.

Question 3:
An athlete slowing down and stopping
→ A curve that starts steep (moving faster), then gets less steep (slowing down), and finally becomes horizontal (stopped).
The slope of the curve decreases gradually to zero.
This matches option D.
Note: The line does not move down towards the time axis, because the distance is always increasing. (Distance is a scalar quantity).

Question 4:
The correct answer is:
C. m/s (metres per second)
A. m/s² → This is the unit for acceleration (change in velocity per second).
B. N (Newton) → This is the unit for force.
D. m (metres) → This is the unit for distance or displacement.

Question 5:
A constant velocity
→ A horizontal straight line (zero slope).
The velocity does not change with time.
This matches option A.

Question 6:
A uniform deceleration
→ A straight line sloping downwards (constant negative slope).
Uniform deceleration means the velocity decreases by the same amount each second.
The line will cross the time axis if it decelerates to zero (or to negative if continuing).
This matches option C.

Question 7:
A falling tennis ball reaching terminal velocity (downwards positive)
→ A curve that starts steep (large positive slope → large acceleration due to gravity), then the slope gradually decreases (air resistance increases), finally becoming horizontal.
At terminal velocity, the line is flat (constant velocity, zero acceleration).
The shape is concave down (bending toward horizontal as time increases).
This matches option D.

Question 8:
The correct answer is:
D
To find the distance travelled → Area under the line (on a velocity–time graph)
To find the acceleration → Gradient of the line (slope = change in velocity / time)

Question 9:
Use the acceleration formula:
a=Δv/Δt=12/20 =0.6 m/s2
Note: this is the same as the gradient, (change in y)/(change in x).
✅ A. 0.6 m/s²

Question 10:
For constant acceleration from rest:
distance=average velocity×time
vavg=(0+12)/2=6 m/s
distance=6×20=120 m
Or, area under velocity–time graph (triangle):
Area=½×base×height=½×20×12=120 m✅ C. 120 m
