PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

The distance time graph can be used to show the distance an object moves  along a straight line

The best interpretation of the balls motion is given by the option;

The ball doesn't move at first, Then it moves backwards and finally stops

The data points in the given distance time graph are presented as follows;

$\begin{array}{|c|cc|}Time \, (s)&&Position \, (m)\\0&&5\\3&&5\\8&&0\\10&&0\end{array}\right]$

The velocity of a distance time graph is given by the slope of the graph as follows;

The velocity from 0 to 3 seconds, $v_{(0 \ to \ 3)}$ = (5 - 5)/(3 - 0) = 0/3 = 0, therefore, in the first few seconds, the ball has zero velocity and is not moving, which gives;

The ball doesn't move at first

The velocity from 3 seconds to 8 seconds, $v_{(3 \ to \ 8)}$ = (0 - 5)/(8 - 3) = -1

The velocity from 3 seconds to 8 seconds, = -1 m/s, that is, the ball is moving backwards. Therefore;

The ball moves backwards

The velocity from 8 seconds to 10 seconds, $v_{(8 \ to \ 10)}$  = (0 - 0)/(10 - 8) = 0

Therefore;

The ball stops

Combining, we get;

The ball doesn't move at first, Then it moves backwards and finally stops
