Question
Consider a bedy that starts from rest and accelerates uniformly until it reaches a maximum speed, then
maintains this speed for a certain time, finally, it begins to brake uniformly until it reaches rest again.
This type of movement can be classified by three consecutive movements. If we assume that the
movement ocurs on the positive horizontal "x" axis, when graphing the change in the horizontal
position with respect to time, we would obtain graphs with the following trends respectively:
a) First concave upwards, second linear with negative slope and third concave downwards.
b) First concave upwards, second linear with positive slope and third concave downwards.
) First concave downwards, second linear with positive slope and third concave upwards.
d) First concave upwards, second linear with zero slope and third concave downwards.
