Question
Given figure shows the distance-time graph of three objects A, B and C. Study the graph and answer the following questions:
- Which of the three is travelling the fastest?
- Are all three ever at the same point on the road?
- How far has C travelled when B passes A?
- How far has B travelled by the time it passes C?

Solution
- The slope of B is greater than that of A and C. Hence, B is moving the fastest.
- No, because the three lines are not intersecting at any point.
- By the time B passes A, C covers a distance of about 9 km or more.
- By the time B passes C, it has travelled 6 km.

The slope of the distance-time curve is steeper/greater is the ______.
Assertion: The slope of the distance-time graph of a body moving with high speed is steeper than the slope of the distance-time graph of a body with low velocity.
Reason: Slope of distance-time graph = speed of the body.
