A He is speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes.
B He is going slower and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes
C
He is going faster and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes
D. His acceleration increases during the first 10 minutes and decreases during the last 10 minutes.
To answer this question, let's analyze the information provided in the graph.
Looking at the graph, we can see that the x-axis represents time in minutes, and the y-axis represents Peter's motion.
Option A: "He is speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes" - It is not possible to determine Peter's acceleration from the graph. Therefore, Option A cannot be concluded from the graph.
Option B: "He is going slower and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes" - There is no information in the graph indicating a change in direction. Therefore, Option B is not supported by the graph.
Option C: "He is going faster and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes" - There is no information in the graph indicating a change in direction. Therefore, Option C is not supported by the graph.
Option D: "His acceleration increases during the first 10 minutes and decreases during the last 10 minutes" - The graph does not provide any specific information about acceleration. Therefore, Option D cannot be concluded from the graph.
Based on the information provided in the graph, none of the given options can be deduced.
To answer this question, we need to analyze the graph showing the motion of the person over time. Look at the graph and focus on the trend of the line during the first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes.
A. "He is speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes."
To determine if he is speeding up or slowing down, we should examine if the slope of the line increases or decreases during each time period. If the slope is steeper in the first 10 minutes, it means he is speeding up. If the slope is less steep or even negative in the last 10 minutes, it means he is slowing down.
B. "He is going slower and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes."
This option suggests that there is a difference in speed and direction between the first and last 10 minutes. We need to examine if the line's direction or steepness changes during these two time periods.
C. "He is going faster and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes."
Similar to option B, this option suggests a difference in speed and direction. We need to examine if the line's direction or steepness changes.
D. "His acceleration increases during the first 10 minutes and decreases during the last 10 minutes."
To determine if his acceleration increases or decreases, we need to examine if the line becomes steeper or less steep during each time period.
By examining the graph, you should be able to determine which statement is correct. Look for any changes in the steepness, direction, or slope of the line during the first 10 minutes compared to the last 10 minutes.
