Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
Which velocity graph shows the car moving toward the left (toward the origin) at a steady (constant) velocity?
**Options:**
- ⃝ H
- ⃝ F
- ⃝ D
- ⃝ A
- ⃝ J
- ⃝ G
- ⃝ C
- ⃝ B
- ⃝ E
**Explanation:**
In this question, you are asked to select the graph that represents a car moving to the left at a constant velocity. A constant velocity indicates a straight, horizontal line on a velocity-time graph, situated in the negative section if moving toward the left. Note that the exact graph images are not provided here, but look for a horizontal line below the time axis to identify the correct answer.

Transcribed Image Text:### Toy Car Motion and Velocity-Time Graphs
A toy car can move to the right or left along a horizontal line. In this scenario, the positive direction is to the right.
To analyze the motion, identify the correct velocity-time graph (A to H) for each question. You may use a graph more than once or not at all. If none seem correct, select choice J.
#### Velocity-Time Graph Options:
- **Graph A**: Constant positive velocity
- **Graph B**: Constant negative velocity
- **Graph C**: Velocity decreasing linearly from positive to zero
- **Graph D**: Velocity increasing linearly from zero to positive
- **Graph E**: Constant negative velocity (lower than B)
- **Graph F**: Decreasing velocity, non-linear
- **Graph G**: Velocity increasing then decreasing symmetrically
- **Graph H**: Velocity decreasing non-linearly from positive to zero
**Option J** indicates that none of the graphs are correct.
#### Question:
Which velocity graph shows the car moving toward the left (toward the origin) at a steady (constant) velocity?
**Answer**: The correct graph is **B**, which shows a constant negative velocity.
Expert Solution

Step 1
The car moves in left side, So the velocity of the car is must be in Nagative:
So, Either Option B or H are possible.
Because others option showing that car in the positive velocity.
