the speed was constant but increasing which causes the acceleration to be constant but not o :O

It wasn't increasing, it was constant.

The only answer is Kinetic energy. Mass was constant. Speed was constant. Hence, K.E constant.
The Chemical energy in the fuel is used to do work and that is being converted into Kinetic Energy and G.P.E
This isn't a pendulum, where that G.P.E to K.E conversion would be applicable.

Firstly it was a distance time graph so if it is a straight line velocity is constant so acceleration will be ZERO.It was moving up the hill so GPE was increasing.Velocity and mass were constant so it was ke as constant.Velocity was constant so resultant was zero.And that loss gain thing is when objects fall from a certain height.

yes it was a distance-time graph therefore gradient was speed. Constant speed=zero acceleration. I chose the kinetic energy option

We had to draw a speed time graph. Speed and time were labelled on its respective axis

I wrote measure the middle distance and time. Then make three intervals and measure the distance and time for each interval. Calculate speed for each interval, if it is same the speed is constant.
