A ball is thrown with a velocity of at an angle of to the horizontal. Air resistance has a negligible effect on the motion of the ball.

What is the velocity at the highest point of its path.

A student measures the speed of the trolley as it moves down the slope. The variation of with time is shown in the graph.
The student obtained the reading for using a motion sensor. The readings may have random errors and systematic errors. Explain how these errors affect the velocity-time graph.

A car driving at speed on a straight road. He comes over a hill to find a tree fallen on the road ahead. He immediately breaks hard but travels a distance of at speed before the breaks are applied. The skid marks left on the road by the wheels of the car are of length as shown. The police investigate whether the driver was speeding and establish that the car decelerates at during the skid.
Determine the initial speed of the car before the breaks are applied.
