Question

which description best fits the motion shown in the graph? a an object moving forward and slowing down. b an object moving forward and speeding up. c an object staying at rest. d an object moving forward at a constant speed. e an object moving backward at a constant speed

Explanation:

In a distance - time graph, the slope represents speed. Here, the slope is positive (indicating forward motion) and decreasing. A decreasing slope means the speed is decreasing. So the object is moving forward and slowing down.

Answer:

A. An object moving forward and slowing down.
