Question

describe what the object is doing during segment a. select 3 that apply.
answer 1: answer 2: answer 3:
options: starts at origin, starts away from origin, moves forward/away from origin, moves backward/towards the origin, moves with a constant speed, moves with an changing speed, at rest

Explanation:

1. Segment A starts at the (0,0) point on the graph, so the object starts at the origin.
2. The line of Segment A has a positive, constant slope, meaning distance increases steadily over time, so the object moves forward/away from the origin.
3. A constant slope on a distance-time graph corresponds to constant speed, so the object moves with a constant speed.

Answer:

• starts at origin
• moves forward/away from origin
• moves with a constant speed
