The graph below shows a car’s motion.
Which statement is true?
(1 point)
Responses
a The car’s speed was not constant.
b The car traveled back to its starting point.
c The car never slowed down.
d The total time spent was 45 minutes.
Based on the information given, the graph does not provide enough information to determine the total time spent by the car. Therefore, the correct statement would be:
a) The car’s speed was not constant.
Unfortunately, without the actual graph or any context, it is not possible to determine which statement is true. Could you provide more information or provide a description of the graph for a more accurate answer?
To determine which statement is true, let's analyze the information provided in the graph.
From the graph, we can see that the car's position changes over time. This indicates that the car is in motion. Additionally, the graph shows that the car's position changes unevenly, implying that its speed is not constant. Therefore, option a, "The car's speed was not constant," is true.
The graph, however, does not provide any information about whether the car traveled back to its starting point. We cannot conclusively determine this based on the given graph, so option b, "The car traveled back to its starting point," cannot be determined to be true.
Similarly, the graph does not provide any information about whether the car slowed down or not. We cannot determine this based on the given graph, so option c, "The car never slowed down," cannot be determined to be true.
Lastly, the graph does not provide any time units or specific direction about the time scale. Therefore, we cannot determine the total time spent by the car based on the given graph. Consequently, option d, "The total time spent was 45 minutes," cannot be determined to be true.
In conclusion, the only statement that is true based on the given graph is option a, "The car’s speed was not constant."
