To analyze the scenario step by step:
-
Lifting by the elevator: The item is lifted at a constant speed to a height of 10 feet. This movement describes a linear function because the height increases uniformly over time until it reaches 10 feet.
-
Item does not move: Once the item reaches 10 feet, it remains there for 5 seconds. This can be described as a constant function since the height remains constant (10 feet) during this period.
-
Item catapults off the platform and falls to the ground: The motion of the item after it is catapulted off the platform follows a parabolic path due to the effects of gravity. This is characteristic of a quadratic function.
Given this analysis, the correct order of the functions describing the scenario is:
Linear Function, Constant Function, Quadratic Function
Thus, the correct response is:
Linear Function, Constant Function, Quadratic Function.
