Below is a graph of an object’s motion. Which sentence gives the best interpretation?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an interpretation of a graph that depicts an object's motion, specifically how the object's velocity changes over time as represented by the line's slope. A negative slope indicates that the object is decelerating.
Answer
The object is moving with a constant change in velocity.
The object is moving with a constant change in velocity.
Answer for screen readers
The object is moving with a constant change in velocity.
More Information
A straight line with a negative slope in a velocity-time graph means the object has constant negative acceleration.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the negative slope for increasing speed. Remember, the velocity decreases here.
