The speed of a falling object increases at a constant rate as time increases since the object was dropped. Which graph could represent the relationship between t , time in seconds, and s , speed in meters per second?
Answer
A
Image with description A graph shows dropping time (seconds) labeled 0 to 10 on the horizontal axis and object speed (meters per second) labeled 0 to 100 on the vertical axis. A line increases from 0 to 4.5 seconds.
B
Image with description A graph shows dropping time (seconds) labeled 0 to 10 on the horizontal axis and object speed (meters per second) labeled 0 to 100 on the vertical axis. A line decreases from 0 to 4 seconds.
C
Image with description A graph shows dropping time (seconds) labeled 0 to 10 on the horizontal axis and object speed (meters per second) labeled 0 to 100 on the vertical axis. A line increases from 0 to 10 seconds.
D
Image with description A graph shows dropping time (seconds) labeled 0 to 10 on the horizontal axis and object speed (meters per second) labeled 0 to 100 on the vertical axis. A line decreases from 1 to 9 seconds.
