IB Physics HL A 1 3 Displacement Topic Practice

Question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

This question is in two parts. Part 1 is about kinematics and gravitation. Part 2 is about radioactivity.

Part 1 Kinematics and gravitation

A ball is released near the surface of the Moon at time t=0. The point of release is on a straight line between the centre of Earth and the centre of the Moon. The graph below shows the variation with time t of the displacement s of the ball from the point of release.
