1. A coach at a track meet measured the time of a runner every 10 meters (m) during a 100 m dash. The data for the runner are shown.

Which statement is the BEST analysis of the data for the runner?

• The runner covers the first 80 m running at a constant speed and then slows down, reaching a

  minimum speed during the final 20 m.

• The runner starts slower and speeds up, reaching a constant speed between 20 and 80 m, and then

  speeds up again during the final 20 m.

• The runner covers the first 70 m running at a constant speed and then speeds up, reaching a

  maximum speed during the final 30 m.

• The runner starts slower and speeds up, reaching a maximum speed between 50 and 70 m, and then

  slows down during the final 30 m.

Determine the scenario that matches with the graph shown.

• A car driving home at a constant speed, stops at a stop sign and then continues to drive home.

• A bird flying and then landing on a branch and then flies back where it came from.
