Question

erik records the motion of a car moving along route 66. which statement correctly explains the motion of the car based on the graph? a. the car moves at a constant velocity for 5 seconds then turns right and moves at a constant velocity for 5 seconds. b. the car moves at a constant velocity for 5 seconds then stops for 5 seconds. c. the car moves at a constant speed

Explanation:

In a distance - time graph, a straight - line with a non - zero slope indicates constant velocity (or speed in one - dimensional motion), and a horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest (no change in distance with time). From 0 to 5 seconds, the graph has a non - zero slope, meaning the car is moving at a constant velocity. From 5 to 10 seconds, the graph is horizontal, meaning the car has stopped.

Answer:

B. The car moves at a constant velocity for 5 seconds then stops for 5 seconds.
