Given information

According to the question, the motion of a particle is plotted. Along the X-axis time is shown and along the Y-axis the velocity of that particle is plotted.

We have to describe in words the motion plotted in the Fig. 2–32 in terms of velocity, acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The instantaneous acceleration   at any time is the slope of the tangent to the  vs.   curve at that time, where   is the velocity of the particle and is the time.

 
  

In the given figure, the velocity profile is shown. Firstly the object starts with an initial velocity and then it moves with an uniform acceleration, since the velocity increases linearly with time up to
