Okay that part.
Here, I did that coz the graph was curved, how can you do like that? If it is curved your answer will be wrong. You obviously need to draw a tangent.
Um, its like drawing a tangent you get gradient here for curve graphs. :)
I'm doin by tangent then im getting my answer as 2.25 which is out of range
the range given in mark scheme is 2.8± 1

umm I don't get it :/
and neither the next part of this question
nvm i'll try later
thanks fr ur help tho :)
Look you are asked to find the speed of the ball at a time of 0.40 s yes?
So here the graph is curved so we cant do the way you did.
So the other possible way is with the help of tangent.
So, make a line touching that 0.4 above and down, make sure no other points are touched in the graph.
So that you can now calculate it from gradient as s here = change in d/ change in time. :) Thats simply change in y/ change in x means (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

That's it. :)

Be calm, do it after 30 minutes. I bet you will be able to do both. If not, do tell me. I will be here to help you Sls! :)

ahan probably I was drawin the tangent wrong lol :') #non#math#student
thank yu :)
