A velocity-time graph with a negative slope represents:

• Uniform acceleration

• Deceleration

• Constant velocity

• No motion

What type of motion does an object experience when the net force acting upon it is zero?

• Uniform motion

• Uniformly accelerated motion

• Non-uniform motion

• No motion

Which of the following statements is true about acceleration?

• Acceleration is always positive

• Acceleration is always negative

• Acceleration can be positive, negative, or zero

• Acceleration depends on the direction of the object's motion

Which of the following is an example of non-uniform motion?
