Answer:

W  & X

Explanation:

gradient of a velocity - time graph indicates the acceleration.

straight lines ,

[tex]gradient = \frac{difference...in..Y..direction}{difference..in..X..direction}[/tex]

  • positive gradient ----> acceleration
  • negative gradient-----> deceleration
  • gradient = 0 ------> constant velocity

curved lines indicate changing acceleration/deceleration

If we consider the gradient values here ,

W ----- 15/1        = 15

X-------(20-15)/1 = 5

Y ------(0/2)       = 0

Z-------(0-20)/1 = (-20)

looking at these we can say

Y motion has no acceleration : moves in a constant velocity

Z motion has a negative acceleration (deceleration)

W & X have accelerating motion.

[tex]W_(acceleration)> X_(acceleration)[/tex]

Answer:

w & x
