#### Question:
Which of the following vectors best describes the direction of the acceleration at point 60m, -45m?
#### Options:
a.
\[ \rightarrow \]
b.
\[ \swarrow \]
c.
\[ \downarrow \]
d.
\[ \uparrow \]
#### Graph Explanation:
The graph illustrates a cliff environment with various points where measurements have been taken. The right side of the image shows numerical values that represent the coordinates in meters. Each blue dot represents a specific coordinate point along with its label.
The points labeled on the graph are:
- \((20m, -5m)\)
- \((40m, -20m)\)
- \((60m, -45m)\)
- \((80m, -80m)\)
- \((100m, -125m)\)
Each point is plotted on a Cartesian coordinate system where:
- The x-axis ranges from 0 to 120 meters.
- The y-axis ranges from 10 to -120 meters.
The plot begins at the edge of a cliff, and the data points extend downward in a pattern that suggests a falling object being accelerated by gravity.
#### Task:
Choose the correct vector that describes the direction of acceleration (which should be downward due to gravity) at the given point \((60m, -45m)\).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2d7d2d74-d827-467b-8d8e-9fee9720e388%2F1f07abc3-b026-4d34-af82-6852758763f1%2Fy63ch28_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
