the distance covered d is proportional to the square of the time t ,so d=kt^2 ; k is a constant

the acceleration a is the second derivative of the distance covered with respect to the time, so a=2k

therefore, the acceleration is constant

s = u t + 1 2 a t 2 s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2
k t 2 = u t + 1 2 a t 2 \Rightarrow kt^2=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2
2 k t 2 = 2 u t + a t 2 \Rightarrow 2kt^2=2ut+at^2
2 k t = 2 u + a t \Rightarrow 2kt=2u+at
2 k t 2 u t = a \Rightarrow \frac{2kt-2u}{t}=a
For any given instant, value of u and t are constant. So, a is constant.
