Question

Which of the following statements best represents a comparison of the two motions shown on the graph?

A. the top line represents a greater acceleration

B. the bottom line represents a greater acceleration

C. the top line represents a greater velocity

D. the bottom line represents a greater velocity

Answer 1

C. the top line represents a greater velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is a distance - time graph.

The distance is on the y-axis and time is on the x - axis.

For this graph, the slope is the velocity.

• The steeper the line, the higher the velocity or the higher the slope.
• Since the upper line is steeper, it will have a higher slope
• Hence a greater velocity

The lower line is not so steep and its slope is lesser compared to the upper one.
