Question

susie went to the store, when she got there she realized that she forgot her wallet and returned home. which graph matches this motion?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Susie's motion

Susie first moves away from home (distance from home increases), then realizes she forgot her wallet and returns home (distance from home decreases to 0).

Step2: Check each graph

• Graph I: Distance first increases, then decreases (returns home), which matches Susie's motion.
• Graph G: There is a period of constant distance (stopped at store), but the problem says she “returned home” immediately after realizing, no stop at store.
• Graph C: Distance has a flat - part (stopped) and then increases again, which is not Susie's motion.
• Graph A: Distance increases non - linearly without a decrease back to 0.

Answer:

Graph I matches Susie's motion.
