Acceleration

Question 4 • AA-F26 Physical Science

Maia says that both lines on this position vs time graph show acceleration. Is she correct? Why or why not?

Answer

Answer:

No, Maia is not correct. On a position vs. time graph, a straight line represents a constant velocity, meaning there is no acceleration. Only a curved line represents changing velocity, which indicates acceleration. In this graph, one line is straight (constant velocity) and the other is curved (acceleration).
