O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/M/J/25

Explanation
Constant velocity yields linear distance-time graph
Steps:
- Fan applies steady force to air bubble, producing constant velocity after initial motion.
- Distances recorded at equal 1-minute intervals for 10 minutes.
- Plot distance (y-axis) versus time (x-axis) from data points.
- Linear trend emerges as distance proportional to time at constant speed.
Why B is correct:
- B depicts straight line from origin, matching s = vt formula for uniform motion.
Why the others are wrong:
- A shows upward curve, implying acceleration not present with steady fan.
- C shows downward curve or plateau, suggesting deceleration absent here.
- D shows horizontal line, indicating no motion despite fan activation.
Final answer: B
