Label The Graph#

Each of the following 5 statements describe the motion shown in Fig.1 labeled A through E. Label each statement with the letter of the corresponding line on the velocity vs. time graph.

The figure depicts a velocity vs time graph, time is on the horizontal axis. There are 5 lines that show different motions. A starts off with positive velocity and it's velocity increases over time. the motion depicts a slight increasing curve. B starts off with positive velocity and has a constant increase as time increases. C starts off with a positive velocity and initially increases with time but then depicts a slight decreasing curve near the end. D starts off with negative velocity and has a constant increase in velocity as time increases. E has a constant negative velocity when time increases.
