When an object moves in a fixed direction with a uniform acceleration, the speed-time graph is a___________.

Open in App

Solution

Acceleration is determined by the slope of the velocity-time graph.
Acceleration=velocity/time.
The velocity-time graph will be a straight line of uniform acceleration if the acceleration is uniform.
The graph of speed vs. time is linear.
Because speed and velocity are equal in this scenario, the graphs will be identical.

Hence, When an object moves in a fixed direction with a uniform acceleration, the speed-time graph is a straight line.
