Exam-style question
Try this first
If an acceleration-time graph shows a constant value, what does this imply about the object's motion?.
- A.The object is at rest
- B.The object is moving with constant velocity
- C.The object is accelerating uniformly
- D.The object is decelerating
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The object is accelerating uniformly
Explanation
Why this works
A constant value on an acceleration-time graph indicates that the acceleration remains unchanged over time. This evidence shows that the object is experiencing uniform acceleration, implying that its velocity is increasing at a steady rate.
Thus, the conclusion is that the object is accelerating uniformly.
