Question
The table below shows the distance travelled by two vehicles A and B during each second:
| Time (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Distance travelled by A (m) | 0 | 20 | 80 | 180 | 240 | 300 | 360 | 420 |
| Distance travelled by B (m) | 0 | 10 | 40 | 90 | 160 | 250 | 360 | 490 |
Give the value of the velocity at which they are meeting

Distance and displacement
A body at rest is made to fall from the top of a tower. Its displacement at different instants is given in the following table:
| Time (in s) | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.4 | 0.5 | 0.6 |
| Displacement (in m) | 0.05 | 0.20 | 0.45 | 0.80 | 1.25 | 1.80 |
Draw a displacement-time graph and state whether the motion is uniform or non-uniform?
