The speed-time graph shows the motion of a car.
which row describes the motion.
A

A car travels 6.0 km along a main road in 6.0 minutes.
It then travels 2.0 km along a minor road in 6.0 minutes.
Which calculation of average speed for the whole journey is correct?
8.0 ÷ 12.0 = 0.67 km/minute
12.0 ÷ 8.0 = 1.5 km/minute
8.0 + 12.0 = 20 km/minute
8.0 × 12.0 = 96 km /minute

The speed-time graph represents the motion of a car traveling along a straight-level road.
Which statement describes the motion of the car?
It accelerates and reaches a constant speed

It decelerates and then reaches a constant speed
It decelerates and then stops moving
An object can be accelerating even if its speed is constant if it: ..................
changes direction
comes to a stop
it's not possible
moves in a straight line
Negative acceleration is also known as ...................
Relaxation
Deceleration
Escalation
All of the above
