Question

Looking at the two motion graphs, in which direction is the object moving faster?
A)
In the x-direction.
B)
In the y-direction.
The object is moving the same speed in each direction.
1
D)
The objec starts moving faster in the y-direction, but finishes moving
faster in the x-direction.
Ε

Answer 1

The answer is A) In the X-direction.

This is the case because, when you are asked about speed on a motion graph, the steeper the line gets, the faster it is going. In the first motion graph "Distance vs Time (X-direction)" the line is getting steeper, so that means it is going faster than the line depicted on the second graph.
