Question

use the image to answer question. during which segment is the vehicle moving forward with the greatest velocity? a c b a c d d e e b

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze velocity - time graph

In a velocity - time graph, the value of velocity on the y - axis represents the speed and direction of motion. Positive velocity means moving forward.

Step2: Compare magnitudes of positive velocities

Segment A has a positive and increasing velocity, segment B has a constant positive velocity, segment C has a decreasing positive velocity, segment D has a negative velocity (moving backward), and segment E has a constant negative velocity (moving backward). The magnitude of velocity in segment B is greater than that in segment A and C (where A is increasing and C is decreasing and their maximum values are less than the constant value in B).

Answer:

E. B
