    Velocity graph, a ball is thrown upward

    I don't get it, why is the graph always linear? Shouldn't its slope be zero when the ball is at the top and stops there for a moment? The way it is "explained" is that it's at the top for instantaneous moment. Okay, but, if let's say, ball was going upward for a 5 sec, then stopped for 1 second...

    How to determine a hole in a graph?

    I'm aware that in order to find the hole in a graph, you need to factor both the numerator and denominator, and look for terms that cancel out. However, is it merely just looking for a term that cancels out, or is it more specifically a term that cancels out and makes the numerator equal to...

    Velocity over time with constant power

    For a car with constant power, how will its velocity change over time? Since power (P) is the derivative of the kinetic energy (Ek), I've found that the equation for the velocity as a function of time is √(2*P*t/m). Is this correct? Would the graph then be a root graph?
