Here, If acceleration is uniform, change is velocity will be uniform, and position-time graph represents for velocity, so it would be Linear

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The correct option is a. quadratic

Step-by-step explanation:

For an object with uniform acceleration, the equation that modelates the position in function of the time variable is the following :


X(t)=X_(0)+(V_(0)).t+((1)/(2)).a.t^(2)

The function has clearly a quadratic graph because its equation is simmilar to this generic quadratic function :


f(x)=a+bx+cx^(2)

Whose graph is a quadratic graph.

I added a graph of a classic quadratic function.
