How can you calculate average speed on a motion graph?

• Speed = Distance / Time

• Speed = Time / Distance

• Speed = Distance * Time

• Speed = Distance + Time

What does a curved line on a motion graph indicate?

• The object is decelerating

• The object is stationary

• The object is moving at a constant speed

• The object is accelerating

  (speeding up)

What does a curved line that gets shallower (less steep) indicate on a motion graph?

• The object is stationary

• The object is moving at a constant speed

• The object is accelerating

• The object is slowing down

  (negative acceleration)
