Question

Which statement accurately describes the motion of the objects in the ticker tape above?

Both objects are speeding up at a constant rate.

One object speeds up before it slows to a stop.

Both objects speed up before stopping.

One object speeds up at a constant rate until it stops.

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

One object speeds up before it slows to a stop.

When reading this type of graph, we know that when the points are far apart, then the object is definitely moving quickly. Also again, we know that when the points are besides each other, then we say that the object is moving slow. When the distance that is between the points are changed, the velocity of the object subsequently changes too, and therefore, we say that the object is accelerated. When there are lots of points in one location, we will see that the object is not moving.

This then translates into that

The object(s) at the top begins to slow, eventually, it increases in its speed, going forward, it slows down again, before it finally halts. The object at the bottom on the other hand, starts fast, before slowing down.

then:

"One object speeds up before it slows to a stop "
