looking at the graphs below
which runner stopped for a rest?
graph with albert, bob, charlie (distance vs. time) and options: a albert, b bob, c charlie

Explanation:

To determine which runner stopped for a rest, we analyze the distance - time graph. When a runner stops for a rest, the distance they cover remains constant over time, which is represented by a horizontal line segment on the distance - time graph (since distance doesn't change while time passes).

Looking at the graphs of Albert, Bob, and Charlie:

• For Albert's graph, the distance is continuously increasing as time increases, so there is no period of rest.
• For Bob's graph, we can see a horizontal line segment (where distance remains the same as time increases), which indicates that Bob stopped for a rest during that time interval.
• For Charlie's graph, the distance is continuously increasing as time increases, so there is no period of rest.

Answer:

b. Bob
