1

Understand the problem

Choose the graph that best describes the following:

The velocity of a heavy stone (Y) after being dropped from a great height as a function of time (X).

2

Step-by-step solution

Since the velocity depends on the acceleration in a direct relationship, and since the acceleration is constant, the graph must have a straight slope.

Since the graph in answer D describes a constant function, this is the correct answer.
