<u><em>Answer
</em></u>
B. Gabriella is slowing down at the same rate that Kendall is speeding up, and Franklin is not accelerating.
<u><em>Explanation
</em></u>
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It is calculated as follows;
a = (v - u)/t
Where a⇒ acceleration
v ⇒ final velocity
u ⇒ initial velocity
t ⇒ time taken.
<u>For Gabriella;
</u>
a = (32-55)/10 = -23/10 = -2.3
Since acceleration is negative, Gabriella was desecration (slowing down.
<u>For Franklin,
</u>
a = (50-50)/8.5 = 0
This means no acceleration.
<u>For Kendall;
</u>
a = (67-53.2)/6 = 13.8/6 = 2.3
Positive acceleration means, he was speeding up.
From the choices the correct answer is B. Gabriella is slowing down at the same rate that Kendall is speeding up, and Franklin is not accelerating.
