Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What can be concluded about the shape of an acceleration vs. time graph when the instantaneous acceleration of an object and its average acceleration are the same?
A
It is a curved line.
B
It is a zigzag line.
C
It is a straight line parallel to the time axis.
D
It is a straight line parallel to the acceleration axis.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -time graph when the instantaneous acceleration of an object and its average acceleration are the same? It is a curved line.

Detailed explanation-2: -Average acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the elapsed time; instantaneous acceleration is acceleration at a given point in time. Average acceleration is acceleration at a given point in time; instantaneous acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the elapsed time.

Detailed explanation-3: -The slope of the acceleration time graph represents a quantity known as the jerk.

Detailed explanation-4: -The straight line of a speed-time graph shows that the speed does not change and thus, speed of the body is constant or uniform.

Detailed explanation-5: -The velocity of an object at a particular instant of time or at a particular point of its path is called instantaneous velocity . Instantaneous acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity at a given moment.
