Interpreting Motion Graphs

The picture of the position vs. time graph shows an object that is...

• accelerating/speeding up
• moving at a constant speed 
• not moving 
• accelerating/slowing down. 

Determine the motion of the car.

• at rest 
• moving at constant speed
• speeding up
• slowing down
