Correct answer: B

  1. For motion with constant acceleration aaa, the basic kinematic relations are:

a=constanta = \text{constant}a=constant

v=u+atv = u + atv=u+at

x=x0+ut+12at2x = x_0 + ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2x=x0​+ut+21​at2

where:

  • xxx = position,
  • vvv = velocity,
  • aaa = acceleration,
  • uuu = initial velocity,
  • x0x_0x0​ = initial position.
  1. From these equations, the graphical/functional nature of each quantity is:
  • Acceleration vs time: constant, so it is represented by a horizontal line.
  • Velocity vs time: since v=u+atv = u+atv=u+at, velocity varies linearly with time, so it is represented by a straight line.
  • Position vs time: since x=x0+ut+12at2x = x_0 + ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2x=x0​+ut+21​at2, position varies quadratically with time, so it is represented by a parabola.
  1. Therefore, the correct representation for a particle moving with constant acceleration must show:
  • xxx as a parabola,
  • vvv as a straight line,
  • aaa as a constant line.
  1. Since the stored correct answer is B, option B must be the one showing these correct forms.

Hence, the correct answer is:

B\boxed{B}B​
