Velocity Time and Displacement Time Graphs

Five stages - labeled A, B, C, D, and E - of an object's motion are represented by the position-time graph below. During which stage(s) is the object moving towards its starting point?

• A

• B

• C

• D

The motions of Objects A, B, and C are represented on a position-time graph. Observe their lines and rank the speeds of Objects A, B, and C from slowest to fastest.

• A, B, C

• B, A, C

• A, C, B

• C, B, A
