A car's distance-time graph is a curve that gets less and less steep over time, eventually becoming horizontal. The motion is best described as:
- Uniform speed throughout
- Speeding up
- Slowing down and finally stopping
- Reversing direction
Solution
Decreasing slope means decreasing speed; horizontal slope means stationary. So the car slows down and then stops.
