A student is running a 200 m event. Diagram 7
shows the distance-time graph to illustrate his
running.

(i) Based on Diagram 7, calculate the speed of
the student at section AB.

longer
Wide / big range // sensitive // small
scale division
Plastic // glass
Avoid corrosion
Small diameter // narrow
increase sensitivity / detect small change
Big bulb
Bouyant force / more weight of water
displaced
More number of lead shorts
Stable // balance

of both rays to
form image
Convex mirror
Larger view of vision / wide field of view
Big diameter
more light / brighter image formed
High position
Wider coverage / wide view / no obstacle
Strong reflector
good reflection / clear image / sharp image
Choose S
Because it is convex mirror, big diameter,
high position and strong reflector
