O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/O/N/18

Explanation
Constant acceleration requires linear speed-time relationship
Steps:
- Calculate average acceleration for each time interval using a = Δv / Δt for bodies A, B, C, D.
- Check if acceleration values are equal across intervals for each body.
- Identify the body where acceleration varies between intervals.
- Confirm non-linearity in speed vs. time for that body.
Why A is correct:
- Acceleration is not constant if average a differs across intervals, violating the definition of constant acceleration (dv/dt = constant).
Why the others are wrong:
- B: Acceleration values are equal across all intervals, indicating constant acceleration.
- C: Speed increases linearly with time, so acceleration is constant.
- D: Consistent Δv per Δt shows uniform acceleration.
Final answer: A
