where is the speed fastest and why?

if an object was accelerating on the distance-time graph, how would you calculate the speed at any point on the line?

how do you calculate acceleration and name the units?

what is meant by deceleration?

how would you calculate acceleration from a velocity-time graph?

how would you use velocity–time graphs to
determine distance travelled (or displacement)?

what is the acceleration of any object falling freely under gravity near to the Earth's surface?

what is terminal velocity?

explain using forces why the parachutist reaches terminal velocity why opening the parachute reduces the terminal velocity image
