What is the person doing from 5 seconds to 10 seconds?

• Walking at a constant speed
• Running fast
• Not moving
• Walking slow

On a distance vs. time graph, the steeper the slope _____

• the slower the speed
• the faster the speed
• less acceleration
• greater decleration

What is this object doing?

• moving at a constant speed away from start and then stops
• increasing speed and then stops
• decreasing speed and then constant speed
• moving at a constant speed away from start and then constant speed
