Question

Which statement correctly compares his motion during the first 10 minutes to his motion during the last 10 minutes? (1 point) Responses He is speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes. He is speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes. His acceleration increases during the first 10 minutes and decreases during the last 10 minutes. His acceleration increases during the first 10 minutes and decreases during the last 10 minutes. He is going slower and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes. He is going slower and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes. He is going faster and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes. He is going faster and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes. Skip to navigation

Answer 1

To accurately compare the motion during the first and last 10 minutes, we would need specific information about the object's speed, direction, and acceleration during those times. However, let's analyze the statements provided:

1. He is speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes.
2. His acceleration increases during the first 10 minutes and decreases during the last 10 minutes.
3. He is going slower and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes.
4. He is going faster and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes.

If we assume that the scenario describes a situation where an object (e.g., a car) starts from rest, accelerates, and then begins to decelerate or change direction, we can attempt to evaluate the statements:

• If the object is accelerating in the first 10 minutes, it could indeed be speeding up.
• If the object starts slowing down in the last 10 minutes, the first statement could be true.
• If there are changes in direction involved, the last two statements about going slower or faster in different directions could also be true.

Without specific details about speed, acceleration, or direction, it is impossible to definitively determine which statement is correct. Please provide additional context or details about the object's motion for a more precise evaluation.
