Answer 1

To determine what can be said about the object's motion from the graph, it's important to analyze the characteristics of the distance vs. time graph:

1. **Steady speed**: This would be indicated by a straight, diagonal line. If the graph is a straight line, then the object is moving at a steady speed.

2. **Slowing down**: If the graph shows a curve that starts steep and becomes less steep over time, this could indicate that the object is slowing down.

3. **Curving**: If the graph is a curve (either concave up or down) but not a straight line, it could indicate changing speed—either speeding up or slowing down.

4. **Accelerating**: If the graph shows a curve that starts flat and becomes steeper over time, the object is likely accelerating.

Without seeing the actual graph, it's difficult to provide a definitive answer, but typically you would evaluate the slope of the graph (distance over time) to make a judgment. If the information in the graph is available, feel free to describe it, and I can help interpret it further!
