What is Position - time Graph ?</h3>
Position time graph is the graph of distance or displacement against time. The slope of the graph is velocity.
The given positions of four objects as a function of time are shown
on the graph to the right.
1.) The velocity of object A will be the slope m of the line A.
Slope m = Δx / Δt
m = (4 - 0) / (8 - 0)
m = 4 / 8
m = 0.5 m/s
Velocity at A = 0.5 m/s
2.) The average velocity of object B will be the slope m of the line B.
Slope m = Δx / Δt
m = (6 - 4) / (8 - 0)
m = 2 / 8
m = 0.25 m/s
The average velocity of object B is 0.25s
3.) The object moved a total distance during the first eight seconds will be 4m for A, 2m for B, and 8m for D
Total distance = 4 + 2 + 8 = 14m
It’s net displacement during the same time will be 2. That is,
Displacement = 8 - 6 = -2m
4.) The greatest speed occurred at line D. The velocity of the object moving at the greatest speed will be the slope of the line D
V = -Δx / Δt
V = -8/8
V = -1 m/s
Therefore, there is no movement in line C and the greatest velocity occurs at line D.

Answer : The correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.
Explanation :
Speed : Speed is defined as the distance traveled by an object with respect to the time taken. It is a scalar quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude of an object not direction.
Velocity : Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position of an object with respect to the time. It is a vector quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude and direction of an object.
The only difference between the speed and the velocity is that the velocity tell us about magnitude and direction but speed tell us about magnitude only.
Hence, the correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.
Answer:
E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not when it is farthest away.
Explanation:
We can answer this question by using Kepler's second law of planetary motion, which states that:
"A line connecting the center of the Sun with the center of each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time"
This means that when a planet is further away from the Sun, it will move slower (because the line is longer, so it must move slower), while when the planet is closer to the Sun, it will move faster (because the line is shorter, so it must move faster).
In the text of this problem, it is written that the planet moves at 31 km/s when is close to the star and 35 km/s when it is farthest: this is in disagreement with what we said above, therefore the correct option is
E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not when it is farthest away.
