  1. AGraph A: v decreasing linearly from a positive value to zero as t increases
  2. BGraph B: v decreasing exponentially from a positive value towards zero as t increases
  3. CGraph C: v increasing from zero with decreasing gradient (curve) as t increases
  4. DGraph D: v increasing linearly from zero as t increases
