Correct answer: C
-
The acceleration-time graph is obtained from the slope of the velocity-time graph.
-
In a velocity-time graph of shape AMB, the graph consists of two straight-line segments:
- From to : velocity increases linearly with time, so the slope is positive constant.
- From to : velocity decreases linearly with time, so the slope is negative constant.
-
Therefore, the acceleration-time graph must have:
- a horizontal line above the time axis first (constant positive acceleration),
- then a horizontal line below the time axis (constant negative acceleration).
-
Among the given options, this corresponds to Option C.
Hence, the correct answer is:
