The position-vs-time graph shown represents an object whose acceleration is
Negative (along −x)
Cannot be determined
Zero
Positive (along +x)
Explanation
The slope (velocity) starts positive and decreases to negative — velocity is decreasing throughout, so acceleration is <strong>negative</strong>. The curve bends downward (concave down).
