Choose the graph that best represents the following:
The height of a child (Y) when jumping on a trampoline as a function of time (X).
Choose the graph that best represents the following:
The height of a child (Y) when jumping on a trampoline as a function of time (X).
When the child jumps on the trampoline, their height changes. At the peak of the jump, they are at the highest point; when they land, they are at the lowest point. As they are bouncing on a trampoline, this up and down motion is repeated.
Therefore, in the correct graph we must see "ups" and "downs" and, therefore, the graph in answer A is the correct one.
