Looking at the two motion graphs, in which direction is the object moving faster? A)
In the x-direction.
B)
In the y-direction.
The object is moving the same speed in each direction.
1
D)
The objec starts moving faster in the y-direction, but finishes moving
faster in the x-direction.
Ε

The answer is A) In the X-direction.

This is the case because, when you are asked about speed on a motion graph, the steeper the line gets, the faster it is going. In the first motion graph "Distance vs Time (X-direction)" the line is getting steeper, so that means it is going faster than the line depicted on the second graph.

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
