Share:
- 1The girl's motion is represented by a parabolically increasing curve, while the bus's motion is represented by a linearly increasing straight line.
- 2The girl's motion is represented by a linearly increasing straight line, while the bus's motion is represented by a parabolically increasing curve.✓
- 3The girl's motion is represented by a horizontal line, while the bus's motion is represented by a parabola opening downwards.
- 4Both the girl's and the bus's motions are represented by straight lines with different positive slopes.
Correct answer
The girl's motion is represented by a linearly increasing straight line, while the bus's motion is represented by a parabolically increasing curve.
