The velocity-time graph of motion starting from rest with uniform acceleration is a straight line.
- A
Not passing through origin
- B
Parallel to time axis
- C
Parallel to velocity axis
- D
Passing through origin
The velocity-time graph of motion with uniform acceleration is inclined to both the time and velocity axis and passes through the origin.
Since the initial velocity is zero, the velocity time graph must pass through the origin.
Since velocity is increasing at a uniform rate, the velocity time graph cannot be parallel to the time axis.
If the velocity time graph is parallel to the velocity axis, then it would mean different velocity is at any given time we just physically impossible.
