Which graph shows the variation with time t of the velocity v of an object falling vertically downwards in a vacuum?

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.

AGraph A showing v decreasing linearly with t from a positive value to 0

BGraph B showing v decreasing non-linearly with t, asymptotically approaching 0

CGraph C showing v increasing non-linearly with t from 0, with decreasing gradient

DGraph D showing v increasing linearly with t from 0

✓ Correct answer

D: Graph D showing v increasing linearly with t from 0
