Physical Science Post Test Review

The graph describes the motion of an object.

The object moves with constant acceleration/constant velocity/positive acceleration from A to B. It remains stationary/slows down/speeds up from B to C. It moves with constant acceleration/constant velocity/positive acceleration from C to D.

• constant acceleration; slows down; constant acceleration

• constant velocity; remains stationary; constant velocity

• positive acceleration; speeds up; constant velocity

• constant velocity; slows down; positive acceleration
