Question

Transcribed Image Text:Which of the following graphs applies to each situation?
Each graph shows the behaviour of two objects; east is in the
direction of positive d. (E.g., if graph A applies to situation 1,
and C to the rest, enter ACCCCC)
1) A jogger overtaking a walker.
2) A race car speeding up to match the speed of a second race
car.
3) A car moving at a steady speed is overtaken by a police car
starting from rest.
4) An initially moving truck speeding up eastward and a west-
ward moving truck slowing down.
5) A ball thrown upward and a ball thrown downward at the
same time with the same initial speed.
6) A car, initially at rest, accelerating and a car moving ini-
tially at constant speed applying the brakes until it stops.
