For an object moving with uniform velocity, the velocity-time graph is:
AA straight line parallel to the time axis
BA straight line passing through the origin with positive slope
CA parabola
DA straight line passing through the origin with negative slope
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A straight line parallel to the time axis
Uniform velocity means velocity is constant. On a $v$-$t$ graph, constant $v$ corresponds to a horizontal line at height $v$, parallel to the time axis.
Option B (line through origin with positive slope) describes uniform *acceleration* from rest. Option C (parabola) would be a position-time graph for uniform acceleration, not velocity-time.
