The object represented by this graph is moving
2 answers:
The object represented by this graph is moving toward the origin at constant velocity.
Option 3.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the figure, x-axis is representing increase in the time and y-axis is presenting increase in the distance from bottom to up. But the line in the graph which is plotted is decreasing from high distance to small distance with increase in time. So this indicates that as the time is increasing, the distance is decreasing.
And the object is moving toward the origin as the distance of the object motion is found to decrease with increase of time as per the graph. But the slope of the graph is found to be almost constant, this indicates that the velocity of the object is constant. Thus, the object represented by this graph is moving toward the origin at constant velocity.

(a) 3.807 s
(b) 145.581 m
Explanation:
Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.
The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at speed is
The distance traveled by the motorcycle after Δt (seconds) at speed and acceleration of a = 8 m/s2 is
We know that the motorcycle catches up to the car after Δt, so it must have covered the distance that the car travels, plus their initial distance:
