To draw a velocity-time graph for a body thrown vertically upwards, the initial velocity will be positive (upwards) and steadily decrease due to gravity until reaching zero at the peak. After the peak, the velocity becomes negative as the body falls back down. The graph will have a symmetrical shape with the velocity decreasing and then increasing back to the initial velocity.
If you want the graph to show the acceleration of the ball against time, then the graph is a horizontal line. If you want the graph to show the velocity of the ball against time, then the graph is a straight line sloping downward. If you want the graph to show the height of the ball against time, then the graph is a parabola that opens downward.
A straight line sloping upwards on a position-time graph indicates that the object is moving with a constant positive velocity. The slope of the line represents the velocity of the object.
The velocity-time graph of an object thrown vertically upward will have a parabolic shape. The velocity will decrease from the initial positive value until reaching zero at the peak of its motion, then become negative as it falls back down. The velocity-time graph will be symmetric about the point where the object reaches its highest point.
The graph of the motion of a body falling vertically that reaches a terminal speed would show an initial acceleration until the body reaches its terminal velocity. At this point, the graph would level off, showing constant velocity as the body falls continuously.
False. A horizontal line on a velocity vs. time graph indicates constant velocity, not constant acceleration. Positive acceleration would be represented by a diagonal line sloping upwards on a velocity vs. time graph.

Changing the initial position on a velocity-time graph does not affect the velocity itself, as the graph represents how velocity changes over time rather than position. The initial position can shift the entire graph vertically, but this does not alter the slope or the overall shape of the graph. Thus, while the position at a specific time may change, the relationship between velocity and time remains intact.
False. A horizontal line on a velocity vs. time graph indicates constant velocity, not constant acceleration. Positive acceleration would be represented by a diagonal line sloping upwards on a velocity vs. time graph.
The graph of displacement vs. time for something moving at a constant positive velocity would be a straight line sloping upwards, indicating a linear increase in displacement over time.
A velocity time graph is still a velocity time graph - no matter the degree of detail that you look at it.
The answer depends on what variables are being plotted.
If an x-t graph is a position-time graph, velocity is the slope of the line on the graph.
When there is a curved line going upwards on a graph it means the distance is increasing
An upward sloping straight line.
