O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/11/O/N/22
Question 5 from 5054/11/O/N/22

Explanation

Uniform acceleration produces a linear speed-time graph

Steps:

  • Uniform acceleration means constant change in speed over time.
  • On a speed-time graph, speed is the y-axis and time is the x-axis.
  • Constant acceleration results in a straight line with positive slope for increasing speed.
  • Horizontal track implies no vertical motion, so focus on horizontal acceleration.

Why A is correct:

  • A straight line with positive slope matches the definition of uniform acceleration, where v=u+atv = u + atv=u+at yields linear speed versus time.

Why the others are wrong:

  • B: Curved line indicates non-uniform (changing) acceleration.
  • C: Horizontal line shows constant speed (zero acceleration).
  • D: Straight line with negative slope or curve represents deceleration or varying motion.

Final answer: A
