Question

If the velocity-time graph has the shape $AMB$, what would be the shape of the corresponding acceleration-time graph?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

We know that the slope of $v-t$ curve gives acceleration.

For $AM$, slope is constant and negative. Therefore, acceleration is constant and negative.

Similarly, for $MB$, slope is constant and positive. Therefore, acceleration is constant and positive.

This situation is best represented by the curve in option $\left(A\right)$.
