Answer 1

To accurately determine which statement is true about the horse's motion, I would need to see the graph you're referring to. However, here’s how you can analyze it based on typical characteristics of motion graphs:

1. Constant Velocity: If the graph shows a straight diagonal line (constant slope), then the horse maintained a constant velocity.

2. Increasing Acceleration: If the slope of the graph is getting steeper over time, that indicates that the horse is increasing its acceleration.

3. Constant Acceleration: If the graph is a curve with a consistent slope, then the horse maintained a constant acceleration.

4. Decreasing Velocity: If the graph shows a downward slope, it suggests that the horse is decreasing its velocity.

If you can describe the graph or provide the key features, I can help you choose the correct statement.
