Question

A car accelerates from a resting position at a constant 5 meters per second per second. What does the graph of acceleration versus time look like

Answer 1

You just told us that the acceleration is constant, and we believed you. So if we draw a graph of it, and it never gets any higher or lower than 5 m/s², then the graph is a straight horizontal line.

Answer 2

Explanation:

It is given that, a car accelerates from a resting position at a constant 5 meters per second per second. When the car moves with constant velocity, then the change in velocity is equal to 0.

The attached figure shows the acceleration time graph when the car accelerates with constant velocity. The line is parallel to the time axis or x axis.

So, the acceleration versus time graph look like line parallel to x axis. Hence, this is the required solution.
