multiple choice 5 points
this graph shows the motion of an animal.
distance vs. time
when does the animal remain still?
between second 1 and second 2
between second 3 and second 4
between second 2 and second 3
between second 4 and second 5

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the graph

In a distance - time graph, when an object is still, the distance does not change with time. This means the graph is a horizontal line.

Step2: Analyze each time interval

• Between second 1 and second 2: The distance is increasing (not a horizontal line).
• Between second 3 and second 4: The distance is increasing (not a horizontal line).
• Between second 2 and second 3: The graph is a horizontal line. So, the distance is not changing in this interval.
• Between second 4 and second 5: The distance is increasing (not a horizontal line).

Answer:

between second 2 and second 3
