Answer:

The correct answer is constant and positive

Explanation:

The velocity is changing with respect to time at constant rate and we know that the change in velocity is known as acceleration so a constant change in velocity with respect to time will give us a constant acceleration. Similarly the velocity is gradually increasing that is why we will take the acceleration as positive .

Answer: constant and positive

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It can be measured in meter per second square.

[tex]a = \frac{dv}{dt}[/tex]

It can be measured from the slope of velocity - time graph.

In the given velocity vs. time graph, the slope is a straight line in the first quadrant. This means the acceleration is uniform (constant) and positive.

Acceleration from the given graph is:

a = change in velocity /time interval = (5-0)m/s/(5-0)s = 1 m/s².
