from B to C. It moves with
from C to D.

Answer 1

Question - the graph describes the motion of an object

the object moves with ___ from A to B. It remains___ from B to C. It moves with ___ from C to D.

first blank options- Constant acceleration, Constant velocity. or postive accelertaion

second blank- remains stationary, slows down, speeds up

third blank- same as blank 1

Answer - Correctly filled words in the blanks are as follows-

First blank - Constant velocity

Second blank - remains stationary

Third blank - constant velocity.

• For the segments A to B and C to D, the slope will be calculated as - ∆y/∆x. Since ∆y represents change in position and ∆x represents change in time, the resultant will be velocity. As the graph increases linearly, it shows constant velocity.
• From the segment B to C, value of x axis increases while that of y axis remains constant. Thus, the object becomes stationary.

Answer 2

First blank - Constant velocity

Second blank - remains stationary

Third blank - constant velocity.
