Diagram for this question, from the exam paper

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

Adistance-time graph showing increasing distance with increasing gradient (curve upwards from origin)
Bdistance-time graph showing increasing distance with decreasing gradient (curve downwards to a plateau)
Cdistance-time graph showing distance increasing linearly with time (straight line upwards from origin)
Ddistance-time graph showing constant distance over time (horizontal line after initial increase)

✓ Correct answer

A: distance-time graph showing increasing distance with increasing gradient (curve upwards from origin)
