Motion Graph Simulation 3

Graph A Graph B Graph C Graph D

 

Description:

A simulation of a moving car which runs into some mud and slows down (in the blue area) is shown on the lower graph. The x = 0 location is in the center of the simulation, and x increases from left to right. You can see four choices of position versus time graphs of the car by selecting from the table.

Question:

Look at each graph and decide which graph is the correct one for the position versus time.
