To determine the correct option that describes the motion of the object for each time interval based on the distances traveled over time, we need to analyze the nature of the graph in each of the intervals (AB, BC, CD, DE).
Since I don't have the actual graph, I'll guide you on how to interpret the intervals:
-
Interval AB:
- If the distance remains constant (no change), then it indicates no motion.
- If the distance increases steadily, it indicates constant speed.
-
Interval BC:
- If the distance traveled is still increasing but at a decreasing rate, then speed is decreasing.
- If the distance traveled continues to increase steadily, then it's constant speed.
-
Interval CD:
- If the distance remains constant again, it indicates no motion.
- If the distance increases steadily, it shows constant speed.
-
Interval DE:
- If the distance increases rapidly (more than the previous intervals), it indicates acceleration.
- If the increase is steady, it indicates constant speed.
Using this understanding, you can identify the right answer based on what you observe in the graph.
Without seeing the graph, I can't give you the definitive answer, but you should look for features in each interval to determine how the object's motion is characterized in each case. Checking the options against your findings will help you select the right one. If you can provide more details from the graph, I could help you further!
