A toy car is rolled across a table. Students time how long it takes the car to travel specific distances. They then plot their data as a position time graph. Position (m) Time (s) What can the students determine about the motion of the car based on the position-time graph? A The car was accelerating forward. B The car was moving at a constant velocity forward. The car was moving at a constant velocity backwards.
