The velocity–time graph of a uniformly accelerated body is a:

Answer: straight sloping line.

  • A straight sloping line
  • B a curved parabola shape
  • C a closed circular loop
  • D a flat horizontal line

Correct answer: A. straight sloping line

Explanation: Uniform acceleration gives a straight line of constant slope on a v–t graph.

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.
