To accurately assess the object's motion across the different intervals (AB, BC, CD, DE) based on the provided description, we need to analyze the graph thoroughly. However, since I don't have visuals available, I'll guide you on how to interpret it.
-
Interval AB: If the distance is increasing steadily and linearly, it’s moving at a constant speed. If there's no change in distance, it indicates no motion.
-
Interval BC: If the distance increases but the slope of the line is getting steeper, the object is moving with acceleration. If it’s becoming less steep, it’s decreasing speed.
-
Interval CD: If the distance remains constant (a horizontal line), the object is at no motion. If the distance increases steadily, it’s constant speed.
-
Interval DE: If the line is curving upwards, with the distance increasing at an accelerating rate, it indicates acceleration. If the distance decreases, then it’s decreasing speed. If it remains constant, again, it’s no motion.
Based on typical graph interpretations, you could evaluate which option correctly matches the conditions of each interval. Please choose the response that aligns best with these assessments based on your observations of the graph.
