Question

Use the graph below to answer the question that follows. A graph titled 'Remote-Control Car' shows 'Time' in seconds from 0 to 10 on the x-axis and 'Speed' in miles per hour from 0 to 10 on the y-axis. A line segment connects left-parenthesis 0 comma 4 right-parenthesis and left-parenthesis 3 comma 2 right-parenthesis. A second line segment connects left-parenthesis 3 comma 2 right-parenthesis to left-parenthesis 5 comma 5 right-parenthesis. A horizontal line segment connects left-parenthesis 5 comma 5 right-parenthesis to the point left-parenthesis 10 comma 5 right-parenthesis. Which statement describes the speed of the remote-control car over time? A. The speed of the car decreases from 4 mi/h to 2 mi/h in the first 3 seconds, increases to 5 mi/h in the next 2 seconds, and then remains at 5 mi/h for the last 5 seconds. B. The speed of the car increases from 4 mi/h to 2 mi/h in the first 3 seconds, decreases to 5 mi/h in the next 2 seconds, and then remains at 5 mi/h for the last 5 seconds. C. The speed of the car decreases from 4 mi/h to 2 mi/h in the first 3 seconds, increases to 6 mi/h in the next second, and then remains at 6 mi/h for the last 6 seconds. D. The speed of the car decreases from 4 mi/h to 2 mi/h in the first 3 seconds, increases to 5 mi/h in the next 5 seconds, and then remains at 5 mi/h for the last 10 seconds. 17 / 19 15 of 19 Answered

Answer 1

it would be (A) The speed of the car decreases from 4 mi/h to 2 mi/h in the first 3 seconds, increases to 5 mi/h in the next 2 seconds, and then remains at 5 mi/h for the last 5 seconds.

Explanation:

I took the Unit Test.

Answer 2

The explanation of the problem is as shown in the attached figure.
AS shown in the the graph:
At t = 0 the speed = 4 miles/h then decrease to the speed = 2 miles/h during the first 3 seconds then increased to 5 miles/h during the next 2 seconds, then it became constant at 5 miles/h for the last 5 seconds.
So, the correct option is:
A. The speed of the car decreases from 4 mi/h to 2 mi/h in the first 3 seconds, increases to 5 mi/h in the next 2 seconds, and then remains at 5 mi/h for the last 5 seconds.
