(N/A) The $x-t$ (position-time) graph represents the motion of an object. The slope of the $x-t$ graph gives the velocity of the object. The curvature of the graph indicates the acceleration.
$(a)$ For positive acceleration $(a > 0)$: The graph is concave upwards (like a parabola opening upwards). The velocity increases with time.
$(b)$ For negative acceleration $(a < 0)$: The graph is concave downwards (like a parabola opening downwards). The velocity decreases with time.
$(c)$ For zero acceleration $(a = 0)$: The graph is a straight line with a constant slope,indicating constant velocity.

The velocity $(v)-$ time $(t)$ plot of the motion of a body is shown below:
The acceleration $(a)-$ time $(t)$ graph that best suits this motion is:

$A$ body is moving according to the equation $x = at + bt^2 - ct^3$,where $x$ is displacement and $a, b,$ and $c$ are constants. The acceleration of the body is:

The displacement is given by $x = 2t^2 + t + 5$. The acceleration at $t = 2 \ s$ is:

The relation between the displacement $x$ (in metre) and the time $t$ (in second) of a particle is $t = 2x^2 + 3x$. If the displacement of the particle is $25 \ cm$ from the origin $(x = 0)$, then the acceleration of the particle is:

$A$ particle is moving with constant acceleration,whose direction is the same as that of its instantaneous motion. The distance $(s)-$velocity $(v)$ graph for the particle is:
