To determine which statement is true about the horse's motion based on a graph, it's important to analyze the nature of the graph itself. Generally, in a motion graph:
- If the graph of position vs. time is a straight line, the horse maintained a constant velocity.
- If the position vs. time graph is curved (upwards), the horse's velocity is increasing, indicating positive acceleration.
- If the graph is curved downwards, the horse's velocity is decreasing, indicating negative acceleration (deceleration).
Without seeing the specific graph mentioned, I would encourage you to consider the shape of the graph:
- If it's linear: The first option about decreased velocity would be false, while the second about constant velocity would be true.
- If it's a curve that opens upward: This would indicate increasing acceleration, making the fourth option true.
- If it indicates a gradual change in velocity but not a constant value: It suggests constant acceleration, and the third option may be true.
So, based on the typical interpreted shapes of motion graphs, you can select the correct option. If you provide a description of the graph, I would be able to give you a conclusive answer.
