In graph A, the boy scout hoists the flag up at a constant speed without stopping for a break. In graph B, he hoists the flag at a quick pace at first, but then gradually slows as the flag gets higher. In graph C, the boy scout hoists the flag in consistently timed spurts, pausing for a brief moment in between but the flag is traveling at a constant speed when being raised. In graph D, the flag is being hoisted slowly as it first begins to go up, but as it gets higher its speed gradually increases. In graph E, he raises the flag slowly at first, then very quickly until the flag is near the top, where he slows again as the flag reaches its intended height. In the last graph, the boy scout waited to raise the flag until x minutes after he placed the flag on the pole, when he then raised the entire flag at a very fast, constant speed until it reached the top. Graph C shows the situation most realistically, because the average person most likely would need to stop to adjust their hands after each length that the flag was raised. Graph F is the least realistic because the likelihood of a boy scout raising a flag at a constant speed without passing any time is probably close to none.
