Question 56
Easy

The graph in Figure 1 shows how the vertical velocity, v m/sv\text{ m/s}v m/s, of a medical delivery drone changes during a 60-second test flight. The graph is divided into several sections, including four labelled sections: W, X, Y, and Z.

Velocity-time graph of a delivery drone

Match each section of the graph to the correct description of the drone's motion.

One has been done for you:

  • Section W is matched to: the drone is accelerating upwards

Match the remaining three sections (X, Y, and Z) to their correct descriptions from the list below:

  • the drone is descending at a constant speed
  • the drone is decelerating while ascending
  • the drone is ascending at a constant speed
