The velocity–time graph of a body moving at constant velocity is a:

Answer: horizontal straight line.

  • A horizontal straight line
  • B a steadily rising curve
  • C a vertical straight line
  • D a curved parabola

Correct answer: A. horizontal straight line

Explanation: Constant velocity means zero slope - a horizontal line.

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.
