I think it's A but the graph and wording is confusing me

@zepdrix

OpenStudy (torvela):

I'm not sure what the difference between A and C are

@Preetha

OpenStudy (tgstudios):

"initial" (and the y-axis's label is velocity, so it would be "initial velocity") means the first number on the graph, being 4, and "when he stopped" is when the number reaches 0, which is at 8 seconds. So the answer would be???

OpenStudy (torvela):

a or c

OpenStudy (torvela):

as i said before

OpenStudy (tgstudios):

sense it says "velocity", it would be A

OpenStudy (torvela):

ok thanks!

OpenStudy (torvela):

but what does the little 2 mean

OpenStudy (torvela):

squared?

OpenStudy (tgstudios):

times 2, good luck! :)

OpenStudy (torvela):
