Multiple Choice

The graphs show the position $\mathrm { s }$ , velocity $\mathrm { v } = \mathrm { ds } / \mathrm { dt }$ , and acceleration $\mathrm { a } = \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } \mathrm {~s} / \mathrm { dt } ^ { 2 }$ of a body moving along a coordinate line as functions of time $t$ . Which graph is which?
-

• A) B = position, C = velocity, A = acceleration
• B) C = position, B = velocity, A = acceleration
• C) B = position, A = velocity, C = acceleration
• D) C = position, A = velocity, B = acceleration
