Question

select the correct answer. which of the following statements correctly describe the motion diagrams for car a and car b? car a slows down, whereas car b speeds up towards the end of the journey. both car a and car b speed up towards the end of the journey. both car a and car b slow down towards the end of the journey. car a speeds up, whereas car b slows down towards the end of the journey.

Explanation:

In motion diagrams, the spacing between the positions of an object over equal time intervals indicates its speed. If the spacing increases, the object is speeding up; if the spacing decreases, the object is slowing down. For car A, the spacing between its positions increases towards the end of the journey, so it speeds up. For car B, the spacing between its positions decreases towards the end of the journey, so it slows down.

Answer:

Car A speeds up, whereas car B slows down towards the end of the journey.
