Question
A student is asked to use the motion graph above to compare the movement of the three rhinos. Which of the following statements correctly compares these animals?
(1 point)
According to the graph, rhino A is moving up a steep hill at the same rate that C is moving up a less steep hill, rhino B is walking across a flat area.
According to the graph, rhino B is moving the fastest, rhino A is slowly climbing a hill and rhino C is moving, but more slowly than B.
According to the graph, rhino A is moving the fastest, rhino B is standing still and rhino C is moving, but more slowly than A.
According to the graph, rhino C is moving the fastest, rhino B is standing still and rhino A is moving, but more slowly than C.

To accurately compare the movements of the three rhinos based on the information provided, we would need to see the actual motion graph you mentioned. However, I can help guide you in evaluating the statements based on typical interpretations of motion graphs.
1. If a graph shows steep slopes, that indicates fast movement, while gentle slopes indicate slower movement. A flat (horizontal) line suggests no movement (standing still).
2. If rhino A is on a steep slope, it would be moving faster than rhino C, assuming C is on a gentler slope.
With these points in mind, the statements can be judged:
- The first statement suggests A and C are moving at the same time, which may not hold true if A is moving faster.
- The second statement highlights that rhino B is fastest, which would only be valid if B's line has a steeper slope compared to both A and C.
- The third statement indicates A is fastest, which is plausible if A is on a steep slope.
- The fourth statement suggests C is the fastest, which is also plausible depending on the graph’s slopes.
Without the graph, I cannot definitively select the correct statement. You'll want to identify which rhino has the steepest slope (indicating speed), which has a flat line (indicating no movement), and compare the steepness of the lines representing rhinos A, B, and C to derive the correct answer.
