Question

The trooper, traveling about twice as fast as the car, must swerve or apply his brakes strongly to avoid a collision! This problem can also be solved graphically by plotting position versus time for each vehicle on the same graph. The intersection of the two graphs corresponds to the time and position at which the trooper overtakes the car. The graphical solution corresponds to finding the intersection of what two types of curves in the tx-plane? (Select all that apply.) an upward-shaped curve whose slope increases as the displacement x increases a straight horizontal line a straight line sloped upward a straight line sloped downward a downward-shaped curve whose slope decreases and then increases as x increases

Explanation / Answer

e is the answer
down ward curvature represents negative slope means decreasing velocity .e deceleration    for the trooper
