Question

The graph shows a journey in a car Which of the statements most likely describes the journey at the portion of the graph labeled J?

Distance
(mi)
hiszen
Time (hr)
The car continues its journey because the portion shows a linear function
The car is waiting at the starting point because the portion shows a constant function
The car is traveling the same distance per unit of time because the portion shows a linear function away from the starting point.
The car stops at a distance away from the starting point because the portion shows a constant function away from the starting point.

Answer 1

D) The car stops at a distance from the starting point because the portion shows a constant function away from the starting point.

Explanation:

For this case, the first thing you should keep in mind is the following definition:

d = v * t

Where,

d: distance

v: speed

t: time

For the portion of the chart labeled J we have:

The time increases

The distance is the same

We have then that the speed is zero.

Therefore, the car is stopped at a distance far from the starting point.
