Question

maia says that both lines on this position vs time graph show acceleration. is she correct? why or why not?

Explanation:

In a position - time graph, acceleration is indicated by a non - constant slope. The orange line has a constant slope, which means it represents a constant velocity (no acceleration). The green line has a changing slope, which means it represents a changing velocity (acceleration).

Answer:

No, Maia is not correct. The orange line shows constant velocity (no acceleration) because its slope is constant. The green line shows acceleration because its slope is changing.
