a. The curve will start at a positive position value and follow a straight line to zero at the later time.
b. The curve will rise steeply at first and as time goes on will level out approaching its highest position value at the later time.
c. The curve will drop steeply at first and as time goes on will approach its lowest position value at the later time
d. The curve will start at the zero of position and follow a straight line to its highest position at the later time.
