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?

  1. Adistance-time graph: curve starting at origin with increasing gradient, then straightening to constant gradient
  2. Bdistance-time graph: straight line from origin then curve with decreasing gradient levelling off
  3. Cdistance-time graph: starting at non-zero distance, flat then decreasing to zero
  4. Ddistance-time graph: starting at non-zero distance, decreasing curve to zero
