Question

question 6 (3 points) (01.09 lc) an object is slowing down. which of the following lines would represent this motion on a speed - time graph?
○ a a zero horizontal line
○ b a non zero horizontal line
○ c an increasing diagonal line
○ d a decreasing diagonal line

Explanation:

• Option a: A zero horizontal line represents zero speed (object at rest), not slowing down.
• Option b: A non - zero horizontal line represents constant speed (object moving at same speed), not slowing down.
• Option c: An increasing diagonal line represents speeding up (speed increasing with time).
• Option d: A decreasing diagonal line represents speed decreasing with time, which is what happens when an object is slowing down.

Answer:

d. A decreasing diagonal line
