1 A diver in the sea uses breathing apparatus, which releases gas bubbles.

Fig. 1.1 shows bubbles rising to the surface.

Fig. 1.1

The bubbles start from rest and, at first, they move upwards with a constant acceleration.

Fig. 1.2 is an incomplete speed-time graph for one of the bubbles from time t = 0 s until t = 10 s.

(a) Using Fig. 1.2, determine the acceleration of the bubble during the first 2.0 s.

acceleration = .......................................................... [3]

(b) (i) After t = 2.0 s, the acceleration of this bubble decreases gradually until at t = 10 s its
acceleration is zero.

Complete Fig. 1.2, by sketching a possible continuation of the speed-time graph. [2]

(ii) State the name given to a negative acceleration.
