Asked by t

Use this graph of velocity vs. time for two objects to answer the question.

A velocity versus time graph shows two lines sloping upward from the origin. The line with the higher slope is labeled, C, and the line with smaller slope is labeled, D.

Object C has an acceleration that is greater than the acceleration for D.

Reason: On a v–t graph the slope equals acceleration. Line C is steeper than D, so a_C > a_D (and for t>0 v_C = a_C t > v_D = a_D t).
