A body moving with uniform velocity has an acceleration–time graph that is:

Answer: along the time axis, at zero.

  • A along the time axis, at zero
  • B a rising straight line
  • C a curving parabola shape
  • D a vertical straight line

Correct answer: A. along the time axis, at zero

Explanation: Uniform velocity means zero acceleration, so the a–t graph lies on the time axis.

tvuvTΔtΔvslope = aarea = displacement (s)

On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.

Concept context
