A tennis ball falls freely, in air, from the top of a tall building. Which graph best represents the variation with time t of the distance s fallen?
- Agraph of s against t: curve starting at origin with increasing gradient
- Bgraph of s against t: curve starting at origin, gradient decreasing to zero, s approaching constant value
- Cgraph of s against t: curve starting at origin with increasing gradient, becoming very steep
- Dgraph of s against t: curve starting at origin with decreasing gradient, approximately straight line
