In which of the following graphs (click the image) are both runners moving at the same speed (note that graph c is the bottom right graph, and graph d is the bottom left graph)? 

• Graph A
• Graph B
• Graph C
• Graph D

from 3rd second to 5th second, the object is

• moving at a constant speed

• speeding up

• not moving

• slowing down

What does this graph represent?

• Constant speed
• Acceleration
• Not moving

On a distance vs. time graph, the steeper the slope _____

• the slower the speed
• the faster the speed
• less acceleration
• greater acceleration
