there are 2 cases of constant acceleration.
Before reaching the liquid:
a = 10 s = 5 u = o v = ? t = ?
use constant acceleration formulas to find v and t
v = 10, t = 1

Inside the liquid:
a = 5.5 s = 4 u = 10 (v of previous) v = ? t = ?
again use constant acceleration formulas
v = 12, t = 0.36

For the sketch, make a straight line from the origin to (1, 10). This is for the part before the liquid
Then make a line of less gradient from (1,10) to (1.36, 12) for the part inside the liquid.

Why isn't T2 20s? My values were 10 and 30 but when I inserted value of 21 in second derivative of velocity it was giving me positive so increasing? And when I put 19 it was giving me negative so decreasing?_20150511_142356.JPG

Aren't we supposed to make the graph in the negative section? because it is going downwards isn't it?

Do u know how to convert a velocity time graph to distance time or vice versa? I'm rly facing issue in this
It's not too bad as long as you understand that the v/t graph is the graph of the gradient of s/t and remember a few cases.
constant velocity is a straight diagonal line for displacement
straight diagonal line for velocity is increasing gradient graph for displacement
curved graph for velocity is increasing gradient at an increasing/decreasing rate for displacement, depending on the curve in the v/t graph

I have some doubts please clear.

- Why is 'c' ignored when integrating velocity to find disp?
Because we are doing definite integration. The c cancels out.

Won't they cut marks if I drew it in the wrong direction?
There is no 'right' or 'wrong' direction. Positive can be any direction as long as you show motion in the opposite direction as negative.
