A lorry travels at a constant speed and then decelerates until it stops. Which graph shows the variation with time of the distance travelled by the lorry?

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

A[Diagram option A: distance-time graph showing initial acceleration, then decreasing speed to stop]

B[Diagram option B: distance-time graph showing initial constant speed, then deceleration to stop]

C[Diagram option C: distance-time graph showing initial deceleration, then constant speed, then stop]

D[Diagram option D: distance-time graph showing initial constant speed, then acceleration]

✓ Correct answer

B: [Diagram option B: distance-time graph showing initial constant speed, then deceleration to stop]
