Question

Draw a graph for each of the following scenarios and explain why your graph corresponds to the scenario. Label axes and include scales.

a) Show and Explain a graph to correlate with the function of the amount of gas in a gas tank when a driver refills the tank on a drive across the country question mark.

b) Show and Explain a graph to correlate with the function of the height of an elevator stopping at each floor on the way up question mark

c) Show and Explain a graph to correlate with the function of the height of a bouncing ball dropped from bouncing ball dropped from a table question mark

d) Show and Explain a graph to correlate with the function of the length of a shadow of a flagpole length of a shadow of a flagpole throughout a sunny day question mark

Answer 1

The driver starts with certain amount of fuel, which depletes as he goes on, then he refills it and it repeats till he reach his destination.

The elevator goes up from the bottom floor, stops at the first floor for some time, then goes up to the second floor and so on.

The ball starts from the table top and accelerate from the top till it reaches the bottom.

The shadow is longest in the morning when the sun is at the horizon. It gets shorter as it reaches the top, at which points, there is no shadow, theoretically. The the shadow again start becoming longer as the sun starts to set.
