Answer #1

Q1] For the constant speed, the position-time graph gives a straight line with a constant slope (positive or negative) whereas for a changing speed case, the position-time graph gives a curve for the motion instead of a straight line.

Q2] For the constant speed, the velocity-time graph gives a horizontal line of zero slope whereas for a changing speed case, the graph is a straight line with constant slope (acceleration or deceleration).

Q3] When the object is moving with constant speed, the acceleration is zero and so the acceleration vs time graph will be along x axis whereas for the changing speed case, the graph will be a horizontal line.

Q4] When speeding up, the velocity increases with time and so acceleration is positive in nature.
