Which graph below would match the situation described? a car travelling at 23 mi/h accelerates to 45 mi/h in 5 seconds. it maintains that speed for the next 5 seconds, and then slows to a stop during the next 5 seconds.

The graph shows that a car travelling at 23 mi/h accelerates to 45 mi/h in 5 seconds. It maintains that speed for the next 5 seconds, and then slows to a stop during the next 5 seconds is given by option C).

Given :

The following steps can be used in order to determine the correct graph that represents the giove situation:

Step 1 - The kinematic equation for the velocity is given by:

v = u + at   --- (1)

Step 2 - According to the given data, the initial velocity is 23 mi/hr, the final velocity is 45 mi/hr and the time to accelerate is 5 seconds.

Step 3 - Substitute the known terms in equation (1).

45 = 23 + 5a

22 = 5a

a = 4.4

Step 4 - The final velocity is zero because at the end of 15 seconds.

Therefore, the correct graph that shows the given situation is option C).
