{{WILL GIVE MEDAL}} The diagram below shows a portion of a bike trail. (Picture shows a blue bike at the bottom of a hill and red one at the top; Google the question to find a picture of the graph.) Explain whether the graph below is a reasonable representation of how speed might change for the rider of the blue bike (at the bottom of the hill, going in the direction of the hill-to-come). Sketch a graph to correct the graph if needed. (Graph will need to be googled to see. Best description I have for it is *numbers don't matter* constant speed, increase in speed in short time, constant speed.

Please post the picture / graph, or at least provide a link to it.

Thank you for posting the illustration. Look at the person riding the blue bike (the person on the left). Imagine you're in that person's place, and are riding at a moderate, steady speed towards the right (towards the hill). When you get to the bottom of the hill, is your speed likely to increase, decrease or stay the same? When you reach the top of the hill, what? greater speed, same speed as when climbing the hill, or lesser speed?
