Examine the distance vs. time graph below and determine which of the following statements best describes the motion displayed on the graph.

• The object is moving away from the starting point at a constant speed.

• The object is increasing in speed.

• The object is not moving.

• The object is decreasing in speed.

The graphs show the distance and time traveled by objects x and y. What statement are correct about the two objects?

• Neither object is traveling at a constant speed and object x is traveling slower than object y.

• Both are traveling at a constant speed but object x is traveling faster than object y.

• Objects x and y are traveling at the same speed.

• Objects x and y are speeding up over time.
