Graph Motion

Why do the values on the graph form a straight line?

• The speed is constant

• The distance remains unchanged.

• The direction of motion stays the same.

• The speed gradually increases over time.

• A

• B

• C

• D

A student graphs the motion of a toy car moving in a straight line over a 10-second time period. Which statement BEST describes motion of the toy car?

• The car moved at a speed of 5 meters per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a slower speed during the next 5 seconds.

• The car moved at a speed of 5 meters per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a faster speed during the next 5 seconds.

• The car moved at a speed of 1 meter per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a slower speed during the next 5 seconds.

• The car moved at a speed of 1 meter per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a faster speed during the next 5 seconds.
