Acomet is first seen at a distance of d astronomical units from the sun and it is traveling with a speed of q times the earth’s speed. show that the orbit of the comet is hyperbolic, parabolic, or elliptic, depending on whether the quantity q 2d is greater than, equal to, or less than 2, respectively

not moving. pos accel,

it has to be b, about 97 percent.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

i think the answer is a, hope this : )
