Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

We are to check if the statement is true of false. If it is false, we correct the statement.

Solution:

Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. It is the ratio of the change in velocity to the change in time. The acceleration can be gotten from a velocity time graph by finding the slope of the graph.

The x coordinate represent the time and the y coordinate velocity.

5) Graph A passes through the point (0, 0) and (4, 24). Therefore the acceleration (slope) is:

Acceleration = [tex]\frac{24-0}{4-0}=6\ m/s^2[/tex]

This is correct.

6) Graph B is a straight line of 12 m/s. It passes through (0, 12) and (4, 12). Hence:

Acceleration = [tex]\frac{12-12}{4-0}=0\ m/s^2[/tex]

This is false.

Therefore the acceleration of graph B is 0 m/s².
