Choose the description that best describes this motion graph.

• The object is accelerating at an increasing rate.

• The object is moving at a constant velocity/speed.

• The object moved at a constant speed, then stopped. After stopping, it returned to the beginning and then moved back in the original direction at a very fast constant speed.
