(1 point)
Responses
The object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate.
The object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate.
The object accelerates at an increasing rate.
The object accelerates at an increasing rate.
The object does not move.
The object does not move.
The object accelerates at an increasing rate followed by a decreasing rate.
The statement "The object accelerates at an increasing rate followed by a decreasing rate" is true based on the graph.
According to the given graph, it is evident that the object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate. Therefore, the correct statement is:
The object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate.
To determine which statement is true, we need to analyze the given graph.
Since we don't have access to the graph, we're unable to directly assess the object's motion. However, we can still provide some guidance on how to arrive at the correct answer:
1. Look at the x-axis: Determine whether it represents time, distance, or any other relevant variable. Understanding what the x-axis represents is crucial in interpreting the graph.
2. Look at the y-axis: Determine what it represents. For motion graphs, the y-axis usually represents either velocity or acceleration. Understanding this information will help in understanding the object's motion.
3. Observe the slope of the graph: If the graph represents velocity, a positive slope indicates positive acceleration, while a negative slope indicates negative acceleration. If the graph represents acceleration, a constant positive slope indicates constant acceleration, while an increasing or decreasing slope indicates changing acceleration.
Analyzing these factors should enable you to determine which statement accurately describes the object's motion.
