Equations of motion — practice question

The graph illustrates how a quantity $y$ changes with a quantity $x$ for an object falling through air at constant (terminal) velocity in a uniform gravitational field. Which quantities might $x$ and $y$ be?

  • A$x$: air resistance, $y$: acceleration
  • B$x$: loss of height, $y$: gain in kinetic energy
  • C$x$: loss of potential energy, $y$: work done against air resistance
  • D$x$: time, $y$: velocity
