### Understanding Motion and Forces: Analyzing a Position-Time Graph#### Graph DescriptionThe graph represents the motion of a leftward-moving object over time. The horizontal axis (x-axis) represents time, while the vertical axis (y-axis) represents position. The graph is a downward-curving line, indicating that the object's position is changing over time.#### Interpretations- The line starts at a higher position value and curves downward as time progresses, implying that the object is moving leftwards but slowing down over time.- The curved nature of the line indicates that the rate of change of position (speed) is not constant.#### Multiple Choice OptionsSelect the correct statements about the object's motion and forces:- [ ] constant speed- [ ] balanced forces- [x] slowing down- [x] unbalanced forces- [ ] speeding up#### Explanation- **Constant Speed:** The object is not moving at a constant speed because the slope of the position-time graph is changing.- **Balanced Forces:** If the forces were balanced, the object would be moving at a constant velocity. Since the object is slowing down, the forces are unbalanced.- **Slowing Down:** The downward curve indicates that the object's speed is decreasing over time.- **Unbalanced Forces:** The change in speed suggests that unbalanced forces are acting on the object, causing it to decelerate.- **Speeding Up:** The graph does not show any indication of the object speeding up; instead, it is slowing down.
