Question

(PLEASE ANSWER)

Tina is going for a bike ride. When she leaves her house, she starts pedaling and her speed steadily increases. As she approaches the stop sign at the end of her street, she slows down at a steady pace until she comes to a complete stop. After waiting at the stop sign for her turn to go, she starts pedaling again and her speed steadily increases at a slower pace than when she first left her house. She reaches a comfortable speed and rides at this speed until she approaches another stop sign, causing her to steadily slow down until she again comes to a complete stop.



Which graph represents Tina’s bike ride?

Answer 1

The first graph represents Tina's bike ride.

Explanation:

The first graph represents Tina's bike ride.

Here, first increases the speed at a certain constant rate and then after some time speed decreases steadily to zero. Then the speed remains zero for some time at the stop.

Then after stopping for a while, the speed again increases steadily, but at a slower pace than when she first left her house. Then the speed maintains a constant certain value for some while then it again starts to slow at another steady rate and comes to stop i.e. zero speed at another stop.

Therefore, graph 1 represents the motion of Tina. (Answer)
