The position versus time graph is of an ant walking along a road. What is the net displacement traveled in centimeters? (Write the number without units.)

What is the object’s average speed for the entire motion shown?

• 0.5 cm/s

• 0.8 cm/s

• 0.9 cm/s

• 2.0 cm/s

• Can’t be determined because the direction changes.

A Position vs. Time graph of a car is shown. Which statement best describes the motion of the car?

• The car is moving with a constant speed before it slows down to a stop.

• The car starts from rest before moving and then eventually stopping.

• The car is speeding up then moving with a constant speed.

• The car is moving up a hill that gradually flattens out.

What statement describes the object's motion at the point indicated by the dot on the graph?
