Use the graph showing the motion of a person over time to answer the question. Which statement correctly compares his motion during the first 10 minutes to his motion during the last 10 minutes? (1 point) Responses His acceleration increases during the first 10 minutes and decreases during the last 10 minutes. His acceleration increases during the first 10 minutes and decreases during the last 10 minutes. He is going slower and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes. He is going slower and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes. He is going faster and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes. He is going faster and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes. He is speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes.

Answer 1

To accurately compare the motion of the person during the first 10 minutes to the last 10 minutes using the graph, I would need specific details or characteristics of the graph regarding their speed, direction, and changes in velocity or acceleration.

However, based on common interpretations of motion graphs:

• If the graph shows a positive slope, it generally indicates that the person is moving forward and possibly speeding up.
• If the graph shows a negative slope, it suggests that the individual is either slowing down or moving in the opposite direction.

Without viewing the specific graph, I can suggest a possible selection based on typical motion descriptions:

1. If the speed increases in the first segment and decreases in the second, the correct statement would likely be: "He is speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes."
2. If the person is moving in opposite directions and these directions are defined (positive vs. negative), the response could be: "He is going slower and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes."

Please choose the statement that best aligns with the observed details from the graph.
