If the slope of a position versus time graph is negative, what does that imply about the motion of an object? A. The object has a negative acceleration. B. The object turned around. C. The object is moving in the negative direction. D. All of the above

ANSWER

A. The object has a negative velocity

EXPLANATION

We want to describe the slope of a position-time graph that is negative.

If the slope of a position-time graph is negative, it implies that the velocity is also negative. In other words, as time increases, the velocity also decreases.

As velocity decreases, it implies that the acceleration also decreases.

Therefore, we have that the acceleration of the object is negative.

The answer is option A.
