Physics · May / June 2021 · Paper 11 · Question 3

A train sets off from a station at time t = 0. The graph shows how the distance between the train and the station varies with time. [graph: distance vs time t, curve rising from origin to a peak then falling back to zero, with vertical dashed lines at t1 and t2] Which statement about the movement of the train between time t1 and t2 is correct?

1. AIts speed is decreasing and it is moving away from the station.
2. BIts speed is decreasing and it is moving towards the station.
3. CIts speed is increasing and it is moving away from the station.
4. DIts speed is increasing and it is moving towards the station.
