The graph that shows a car that is not in motion is graph A.
To determine which graph shows a car that is not in motion, we can analyze the position-time graph of each car.
Graph A shows a straight horizontal line, indicating that the car's position remains constant over time. This suggests that the car is not moving.
Graph B shows a line with a positive slope, which indicates that the car is moving forward at a constant speed.
Graph C shows a line with a negative slope, suggesting that the car is moving backward at a constant speed.
Graph D shows a curving line, indicating that the car is changing its position over time and is therefore in motion.
Therefore, the graph that shows a car that is not in motion is graph A.
