What does the positive slope on the graph indicate about the object’s acceleration?



A.
acceleration is negative

B.
acceleration is constant

C.
acceleration is increasing

D.
acceleration is decreasing

Answer 1

B.

On a velocity vs. time graph the slope equals acceleration. A positive (straight-line) slope means the acceleration is positive and constant (the velocity changes at a steady rate).
