Answer
The following information is obtained from the given figures —
- A → Zero acceleration since slope (i.e., velocity) is constant.
- B → Zero acceleration since slope (i.e., velocity) is constant.
- C → Negative acceleration (or retardation) since slope is decreasing with time.
- D → positive acceleration since slope is increasing with time.
