To accurately describe the cyclist's acceleration, I would need to see the graph you referenced. However, I can help you interpret it based on general principles of velocity and acceleration.
- If the velocity is increasing (the graph is sloping upward), the acceleration is positive.
- If the velocity is decreasing (the graph is sloping downward), the acceleration is negative (deceleration).
- If the velocity remains constant (the graph is a horizontal line), the acceleration is zero.
Based on these principles, you can choose the appropriate response:
- If the line is going down, select: The acceleration of the cyclist is going down.
- If the line is a straight upward slope, select: The acceleration of the cyclist is constant and non-zero.
- If the line is horizontal, select: The acceleration of the cyclist is constant and zero.
- If the line is steepening upward, select: The acceleration of the cyclist is going up.
Please analyze the graph based on these points to select the correct statement about the cyclist's acceleration.
