Answer 1

I don’t have the videos/slides, so I can’t be 100% sure about Q2 and Q4 without seeing the exact practice questions and graphs. Below are my best answers with the reasoning; if you can paste the images or a short description of the graphs/video, I’ll confirm or correct.

Q1 — Which statement is incorrect regarding Ms. Thomason’s examples about acceleration?
Answer: d (All statements are true.)
Reason: Typical examples: constant-speed walking can still be accelerating if direction changes; a skateboarder can be negatively accelerating (slowing); a bee flying in a circle at constant speed still has acceleration (centripetal). So all three statements are true.

Q2 — Which objects in the practice questions are accelerating? (Pick all that apply.)
Best guess: a (Cyclist), b (Ball), d (Car)
Reason: The ball is accelerating due to gravity when in flight; a cyclist and a car are commonly shown changing speed or direction in practice questions. Sloth and turtle are usually shown moving at constant slow speed (not accelerating). I’m uncertain about the balloon without seeing the exact prompt (it could be accelerating if changing speed or direction).

Q3 — In the first distance/time graph that Mrs. Miller shows, what is happening at Point A?
Answer: a (The object is not moving.)
Reason: On a distance vs. time graph a flat/horizontal segment means distance isn’t changing → no motion.

Q4 — In the first distance/time graph that Mrs. Miller shows, what does Mrs. Miller explain happens at each point?
I can’t map Points B, C, D to the story options without seeing the graph/video. If you post a screenshot or describe each segment (flat, positive slope, steeper slope, negative slope), I’ll map them to the appropriate story choices.

Q5 — What does a flat line on a velocity-time graph represent?
Answer: b (Constant velocity)
Reason: A horizontal line on a v–t graph means velocity is not changing (acceleration = 0). (If that horizontal line is zero velocity, that specific flat line also represents “no motion,” but generally a flat line = constant velocity.)

If you can share the Graphing Motion images or the short video clip/description for Q2 and Q4, I’ll give definitive answers.
