The reference point that should be used to describe Melanie motion is the pond (option C).
<h3>What is reference point?</h3>
Reference point is a particular point in space which is used as an endpoint to measure a distance from or chart a map from.
According to this question, Melanie gets out of her car at the park and walks 25 m to the trail entrance. She jogs around the trail until she reaches a pond, where she stops briefly.
However, she then continues to follow the trail around the pond. This suggests that the pond should serve as the reference point for Melanie's motion.

#SPJ1
Answer: 249 seconds
Explanation:
Speed of bike = 2.52 m/s
Distance = 628 m
Time taken = ? ( let the unknown value be Z)
Recall that speed is the distance covered per unit time.
Hence, speed = Distance / Time taken
Time taken = Distance / speed
Z = 628m / 2.52 m/s
Z = 249.2 seconds (Round to nearest tenth i.e 249 seconds)
Thus, it takes 249 seconds for the girl to get to her friends house
I have attached the solution as image.
