• The object starts at the origin and is moving faster as it progresses to the right.

• The object starts at the origin and is slowing down to the right.

• The object is clearly a baseball and absolutely not a basketball.

NGSS.MS-PS3-1

What does this graph show?

• The object starts at the positive side of the origin and is slowing down as it moves left.

• The object starts at the positive side of the origin and is rapidly increasing in speed as it moves left.

• The object starts at the positive side of the origin and is slowing down as it moves right.

• A really cool line.

Answer explanation

Because the object is traveling back to the origin (going from 5m to almost 0m) the object is moving to the LEFT not the RIGHT.
