Based on the information provided about the object's distance traveled over time, let's analyze each interval described in the options:
-
Interval AB: If the object has not moved, it indicates "no motion." If it is moving at a constant distance over time, that would indicate "constant speed."
-
Interval BC: If the distance traveled is decreasing (the slope of the graph is declining), this indicates that the speed is decreasing. If the distance traveled remains constant over time, then the object is moving at a constant speed.
-
Interval CD: If the distance is remaining constant, the object is not moving, implying "no motion." Alternatively, if the distance increases at a constant rate, then it would imply "constant speed."
-
Interval DE: If the distance is increasing at an increasing rate, that indicates acceleration. If the object’s distance continues to increase at a decreasing rate, that would suggest decreasing acceleration.
To find the correct option, consider these interpretations and select the one that matches the analysis for each interval accurately. Since I do not have the visual graph to see, you will have to refer to the specifics of the graph to choose the matching description.
However, based on your options, I'd suggest looking for the consistency of the terms used in describing each interval. The intervals should relate to whether the object is moving, and if so, whether it's at a constant speed, accelerating, or showing decreasing motion.
Please match the descriptions with what the graph shows as you determine which response is correct!
