SPS8.a A dot is drawn every second to show the position of a toy car coasting up a ramp. Which statement best describes the motion of the car? . . . . . . . . . . It is speeding up because more distance is covered every second. The speed is constant because the distance between the dots remain the same. The car is stationary, then slides back down because the ramp is so steep that it can’t coast up at all. It is slowing down because less distance is covered every second.

Answer:

"it is slowing down because less distance is covered every second"

Knowing the slope of the ramp allows one to calculate the deceleration of the car which should be a constant.
