A body with an initial velocity x moves with a uniform acceleration y. Plot its velocity-time graph.

There are two types of forces $X$ and $Y.$ The forces belonging to type $X$ can produce motion in a stationary object but cannot change the shape of the object. On the other hand, forces belonging to type $Y$ cannot produce motion in a stationary object but can change the shape of the object. What is the general name of the forces such as $(a) X,$ and $(b) Y?$
