A ball rolls in a straight line up a ramp and then back down the ramp along its original path. Which graph shows the variation with time of the ball's velocity?

1. AGraph A: velocity against time, straight line with negative gradient starting from positive velocity, crossing time axis
2. BGraph B: velocity against time, triangular shape starting at zero, rising to a peak then falling back to zero
3. CGraph C: velocity against time, rising straight line from zero to a peak then dropping vertically to negative and rising back
4. DGraph D: velocity against time, straight line with negative gradient from positive velocity to zero, then rising with positive gradient
