Question

Based on the position vs. time graph, what is the object’s initial position?

A) 50
B) 304
C) 401
D) 20

Answer 1

The object's initial position based on the position vs. time graph provided is 400 meters, which is not reflected in the multiple-choice answers given.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided from a position vs. time graph, you can determine an object's initial position by looking at the position value at the time t = 0 seconds on the graph. The excerpt provided indicates that the car has a position of 400 m at t = 0 s. Therefore, the initial position of the object is 400 meters. None of the answer choices, A) 50, B) 304, C) 401, or D) 20, are correct based on the information given. If the student is referring to a different graph not provided in the details, they'll need to look at the value on the position (y) axis of the graph when the time (x) axis is at 0.
