A football falls from the top of a tall building. Which graph best represents the way in which the distance x fallen varies with time t?

  1. Ax-t graph: curve starting at origin, increasing with decreasing gradient, approaching a horizontal asymptote
  2. Bx-t graph: straight line through the origin with constant positive gradient
  3. Cx-t graph: curve starting at origin, increasing with increasing gradient
  4. Dx-t graph: curve starting at origin, increasing with increasing gradient (parabolic)
