Q13 of 139 Page 39

What conclusion can you draw about the acceleration of a body from the speed time graph shown below?

It shows the graph for an object moving at a constant acceleration. You can see that both the displacement and the velocity (gradient of the graph) increase with time. The gradient is increasing with time, thus the velocity is increasing with time and the object is accelerating.
