Please answer the following question (question i):

And the following is the first graph:

Expanded graph of position versus time for object moving along straight-line path All three graphs are representations of the same motion. How can you account for the last graph being so much straighter than the first? In the small box on the graph above its portion of the graph that corresponds to the motion from t = 1.5 s to t = 2.5 s. The position of the time coordinates for points in this small interval are given in the following table. Plots this points on the graph below to obtain an expanded view of this small interval.

Explanation / Answer

the second graph is like a zoomed in view of the first graph. When we zoom in on any curve we get to see its small segment. a smaller segment of the original curve will always appear more straight than the previous one. The same happens when the earth looks flat to us while it is round just because we are looking at a small piece of it.
