What is the shape of velocity-time graph for constant acceleration?
Correct answer: B. Straight line
- A. Parabola line
- B. Straight line
- C. Incline curve
- D. Decline curve
Explanation
In the case of constant acceleration, the velocity-time graph will be a straight line. The slope of this line represents the acceleration. If the slope is positive, it indicates positive acceleration (increasing velocity), while a negative slope represents negative acceleration (decreasing velocity). The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
