A ball is thrown up in the air from the surface of a pond with initial velocity 20 m s-1. It accelerates downwards under gravity with constant acceleration 10 m s-2. Once it has reached its highest point it falls until it hits the surface of the pond and goes underwater. Under the water, it continues to accelerate with constant acceleration 1 m s-2 for 1 s. Sketch the velocity-time graphs from the given information. Take the upward direction to be positive.

A parachutist falls from a helicopter that is flying at a constant height. She accelerates downwards at a constant rate of 10 m s-2 for 0.5 s before the parachute opens. She then remains at constant speed for 5 s. Sketch the velocity-time graphs from the information given. Take upwards to be the positive direction.
