I can’t see the graph you mean — could you upload it or describe it (is the velocity line horizontal, sloping up, sloping down, or curved?)?

Quick guide so you can pick the right choice:
- Acceleration = slope of a velocity vs. time graph.
- If the velocity line is horizontal (no slope) → acceleration is constant and zero.
- If the velocity line is a straight line sloping upward → acceleration is constant and non‑zero (positive acceleration).
- If the velocity line is a straight line sloping downward → acceleration is constant and non‑zero (negative acceleration).
- If the velocity curve is changing slope (nonlinear) → acceleration is changing (not constant).

If you tell me which the graph shows (horizontal / straight up / straight down / curved), I’ll pick the correct answer for you.
