Question

1. for each description of the skateboarder’s motion, write the letter of the corresponding graph.

a. terrence started at 6 feet and skated slowly toward the motion detector.
b. terrence started at 6 feet and skated quickly toward the motion detector.
c. terrence started at 3 feet and skated quickly toward the motion detector.
d. terrence started at 3 feet and skated slowly toward the motion detector.
(graphs and matching options are shown with labels f, g, h, i and descriptions of terrences starting position and speed toward the motion detector)

Explanation:

Step1: Match start distance & speed

• For starting at 6 feet: graphs f/g (right group). Slower motion = less steep (f), faster = steeper (g).
• For starting at 3 feet: graphs h/i (left group). Slower motion = less steep (i), faster = steeper (h).

Step2: Assign to descriptions

a. Slow from 6ft → less steep 6ft graph (f)
b. Fast from 6ft → steeper 6ft graph (g)
c. Fast from 3ft → steeper 3ft graph (h)
d. Slow from 3ft → less steep 3ft graph (i)

Answer:

a. f
b. g
c. h
d. i
