Question

Four cars A, B, C, and D are moving on a leveled road. Their distance versus time graph is shown in the figure. Chose the correct statement.

• A. Car A is faster than car D
• B. Car B is the slowest
• C. Car D is faster than car C
• D. Car C is the slowest

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Car B is the slowest

Step 1: Given diagram:

1. Given graph is a distance-time graph.
2. The slope of the distance-time graph gives the value of speed.
3. From the graph, it is clear that $slopeofB<slopeofA<slopeofD<slopeofC$
4. so, $speedofcarB<speedofcarA<speedofcarD<speedofcarC$

hence,

Car B is the slowest.
