To determine whether particles are going faster, slower, or staying the same speed in the given segments of the graph, we would need to analyze the specific changes in position over time indicated by the graph. Since I don't have access to the actual graph you're referring to, I can guide you on how to analyze it based on the slope of the line in each segment:
-
A→B:
- If the line is flat (horizontal), the speed is constant (staying the same).
- If the line has a positive slope (upward), the particles are speeding up (going faster).
- If the line has a negative slope (downward), the particles are slowing down (going slower).
-
B→C:
- Again, observe the slope:
- Flat means constant speed.
- Positive slope means faster.
- Negative slope means slower.
-
D→C:
- Analyze the slope here:
- Flat → constant speed.
- Positive slope → faster.
- Negative slope → slower.
-
E→D:
- Check the slope:
- Flat → constant speed.
- Positive slope → faster.
- Negative slope → slower.
Based on the slopes in each segment, you can fill in whether the particles are going faster, slower, or staying the same speed. If you provide details about the shapes or slopes in each of these segments, I can assist you further!
