The type of motion represented by the given velocity-time graph is
Correct answer: C. Uniformly accelerated motion
- A. Variable motion.
- B. Instantaneous motion.
- C. Uniformly accelerated motion
- D. Non-uniformly accelerated motion.
Explanation
The correct answer is uniformly accelerated motion. This type of motion is shown on a velocity-time graph as a straight line, indicating constant acceleration. Option A, variable motion, refers to inconsistent changes in velocity over time. Option B, instantaneous motion, is not applicable as it refers to velocity at a specific instant, not over a duration. Option D, non-uniformly accelerated motion, would result in a curved line on the graph due to the changing rate of acceleration.

About Acceleration
Acceleration measures the rate at which velocity changes with time, including changes in speed, direction or both. Work includes average and instantaneous acceleration, the relation a = Δv/Δt, uniform acceleration equations, and interpreting velocity time and displacement time graphs, with acceleration carefully distinguished from velocity.
