### Question 3 (Analysis of Oil Drop Patterns for Cars A and B)
To determine the correct statements, we analyze the oil drop spacing (which relates to velocity and acceleration):
- **Constant Velocity**: Equal spacing between drops (no acceleration).
- **Acceleration**: Increasing spacing (speeding up) or decreasing spacing (slowing down).

#### Step 1: Analyze Car A
Car A’s drops: Initially close, then spacing increases. This means velocity is increasing (acceleration).
#### Step 2: Analyze Car B
Car B’s drops: Initially close, spacing increases more rapidly? Wait, no—wait, the diagram (as per typical oil drop problems): If Car A’s drops get farther apart (accelerating), Car B’s? Wait, maybe the original diagram (not fully visible) but standard logic:
- If drops are equally spaced: constant velocity (no acceleration).
- If spacing increases: acceleration (speeding up).
- If spacing decreases: deceleration (slowing down).

Assuming the diagram for Car A: drops start close, then spacing increases (accelerating). Car B: drops start close, spacing increases more? Or maybe Car B has constant spacing? Wait, the options:

Options:
a. Both constant velocity: False (if spacing changes).
b. Both no acceleration: False (if accelerating).
c. Car A accelerating, B not: If Car A’s spacing increases (accelerating), Car B’s spacing is constant (no acceleration) → Possible? Wait, maybe the diagram shows Car A’s drops with increasing spacing (accelerating) and Car B’s with constant spacing (constant velocity, no acceleration). But need to check options. Wait, the options include:

c. Car A is accelerating, Car B is not.
d. Car B is accelerating, Car A is not.
e. Car A has greater acceleration than B.
f. Car B has greater acceleration than A.

Assuming the diagram:
- Car A: drops get farther apart (acceleration, $a_A > 0$).
- Car B: drops are equally spaced (constant velocity, $a_B = 0$).

Thus:
- a: False (B has constant velocity, A is accelerating).
- b: False (A is accelerating).
- c: True (A accelerating, B not).
- d: False (B not accelerating).
- e: True only if A’s spacing increases more, but if B has $a=0$, A’s $a > 0$, so e could be true? Wait, maybe the diagram shows Car A’s drops with increasing spacing (acceleration) and Car B’s with constant spacing (no acceleration). So correct statements: c (and maybe e if A’s acceleration is greater, but need to check).

But since the question is “which statements are true,” we need to infer from typical problems. In standard oil drop problems:
- Equal spacing → constant velocity (no acceleration).
- Increasing spacing → acceleration (speeding up).
- Decreasing spacing → deceleration (slowing down).

If Car A’s drops have increasing spacing (accelerating) and Car B’s have constant spacing (constant velocity, no acceleration), then:
- c: True (A accelerating, B not).
- e: True (A has acceleration, B has 0, so A’s acceleration > B’s).

But maybe the diagram shows Car B’s drops with increasing spacing (accelerating) more than A? Wait, the user’s diagram: Car A’s drops: first three close, then spacing increases. Car B’s drops: first four close, then spacing increases? No, maybe the original problem’s diagram (not fully visible) but assuming standard:

### Question 4 (Object Moving Right to Left, Oil Drops)
The object moves from right to left (so direction is leftward). The oil drops: if spacing increases (right to left, so drops are leftward, spacing between drops: if moving left, and drops are closer on the right (start) and farther on the left (end), that means velocity is increasing (acceleration leftward). Wait, the options:

Options:
a. rightward, rightward
b. rightward, leftward
c. leftward, rightward
d. leftward, leftward
e. rightward, zero
f. leftward, zero

- Direction: moving from right to left → velocity is leftward.
- Acceleration: if drops are closer on the right (earlier) and farther on the left (later), spacing increases → velocity is increasing (acceleration same direction as velocity, i.e., leftward). So velocity: leftward, acceleration: leftward → option d.

### Question 5 (Matching Oil Drop Diagrams to Descriptions)
#### i. Description: Slow constant speed → decelerate to rest → rest 30s → very slow constant speed.
- Slow constant speed: equal spacing (slow).
- Decelerate to rest: spacing decreases (slowing down) until drops are close (rest, no movement → many drops at rest).
- Rest 30s: cluster of drops (no movement).
- Very slow constant speed: equal spacing (very slow, so closer than initial slow speed).

Diagram C: Drops start with moderate spacing (slow), then spacing decreases (decelerate), then a cluster (rest), then very close spacing (very slow constant speed). So Diagram C matches i.

#### ii. Description: Rapidly decelerate from high speed to rest → slowly accelerate to moderate speed.
- High speed: large spacing (fast).
- Rapidly decelerate: spacing decreases quickly (drops get closer fast) to rest (cluster).
- Slowly accelerate: spacing increases slowly (drops get farther apart, but slowly) to moderate speed (moderate spacing).

Diagram A: Drops start with large spacing (high speed), then spacing decreases rapidly (decelerate), then spacing increases slowly (accelerate) to moderate spacing. So Diagram A matches ii.

#### iii. Description: Moderate speed → slowly accelerate.
- Moderate speed: moderate spacing (equal).
- Slowly accelerate: spacing increases slowly (drops get farther apart, slowly).

Diagram B: Drops start with moderate spacing (equal), then spacing increases slowly (accelerate). So Diagram B matches iii.

### Final Answers (Assuming Question 3, 4, 5)
#### Question 3 (True Statements):
Assuming Car A accelerates, Car B does not, and A’s acceleration > B’s (since B has $a=0$):
- c: True
- e: True

(But need exact diagram; typical answer: c and e, or check options.)

#### Question 4:
$\boldsymbol{\text{d. leftward, leftward}}$

#### Question 5:
i. Diagram C
ii. Diagram A
iii. Diagram B

### Step-by-Step for Question 4:
## Step 1: Determine Velocity Direction
The object moves from right to left → velocity is leftward.

## Step 2: Determine Acceleration Direction
Oil drops: spacing between drops increases (from right to left, drops are farther apart on the left). This means velocity (leftward) is increasing → acceleration is also leftward (same direction as velocity for speeding up).
