A student graphs the motion of a toy car moving in a straight line over a 10-second time period. Which statement BEST describes motion of the toy car?

• The car moved at a speed of 5 meters per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a slower speed during the next 5 seconds.

• The car moved at a speed of 5 meters per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a faster speed during the next 5 seconds.

• The car moved at a speed of 1 meter per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a slower speed during the next 5 seconds.

• The car moved at a speed of 1 meter per second during the first 5 seconds and then moved at a faster speed during the next 5 seconds.

On a velocity-time graph, what does a horizontal line (constant velocity) indicate about the object's motion?

• The object is accelerating.

• The object is decelerating.

• The object is not moving.

• The object is moving at a constant velocity.

​ This graph shows the relationship between distance and time of an objects movement. Based on the graph this object is ​ (a)  

• Motionless

• Moving at a constant speed

• Accelerating

• Decelerating
