What does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?

• Acceleration

• Velocity

• Distance

• Time

If a velocity-time graph is a straight line with a positive slope, what does it indicate about the object's motion?

• The object is moving with a constant positive acceleration.

• The object is not moving.

• The object is moving with a varying positive acceleration.

• The object is moving with a constant negative acceleration.
