I looked at the motion diagram and thought it was representing an object accelerating to the right and getting faster. I thought A and B were right, but my first thought was that C looked like it could be moving to the right and slowing down, could you explain why this is wrong? I tend to get these types of questions wrong.
Draw motion diagrams for (a) an object moving to the right at constant speed, (b) an object moving to the right and speeding up at a constant rate, (c) an object moving to the right and slowing down at a constant rate, (d) anobject moving to the left and speeding up at a constant rate, and (e) an object moving to the left and slowing down at a constant rate. (f) How would your drawings change if the changes in speed were not uniform, that is, if the speed were not changing at a constant rate?
