The graph shows an object’s distance traveled over a period of time. Which statement is true%3F (1 point) Responses The object’s acceleration is increasing constantly. The object’s acceleration is increasing constantly. The object’s velocity is constant. The object’s velocity is constant. The object’s acceleration is increasing. The object’s acceleration is increasing. The object’s velocity is increasing. The object’s velocity is increasing.
Since the graph shows a constant increase in distance over time, it means that the object's velocity is increasing.
Based on the information provided, we can make the following statements:
1. The object's acceleration is increasing constantly.
2. The object's velocity is constant.
3. The object's acceleration is increasing.
4. The object's velocity is increasing.
However, it is not clear which statement is true based on the information given. Please provide additional information or clarify the question so that an accurate answer can be given.
To determine which statement is true based on the given graph, you need to analyze the relationship between distance, time, velocity, and acceleration.
First, let's review the definitions of velocity and acceleration:
- Velocity: The rate at which an object changes its position in a specific direction. It is calculated as the change in distance divided by the change in time.
- Acceleration: The rate at which an object changes its velocity. It is calculated as the change in velocity divided by the change in time.
Now, let's examine the graph provided:
- If the object's distance increases steadily over time, the object is continuously moving and not stationary.
- If the object's distance per unit time remains the same throughout the entire graph, it indicates a constant velocity since velocity is defined as the change in distance divided by the change in time.
Based on the information provided, the statement "The object’s velocity is constant" is true. This conclusion can be derived by observing that the distance is increasing with a consistent slope, suggesting that the object is moving at a uniform speed.
A motorcycle goes north at 40 miles per hour. A car goes south at 40 miles per hour on the same street. Which statement is true%3F(1 point) Responses The vehicles have the same speed and velocity. The vehicles have the same speed and velocity. The vehicles have the same speed%2C but different velocity. The vehicles have the same speed%2C but different velocity. The vehicles have the same velocity%2C but not the same speed. The vehicles have the same velocity%2C but not the same speed. The vehicles are going in opposite directions%2C so their speed is not the same.
Based on the information given, we can conclude that the vehicles have the same speed, but different velocity.
Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving. In this case, both the motorcycle and the car are moving at a speed of 40 miles per hour.
Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity that takes into account both the speed and direction of an object's motion. Since the motorcycle is moving north and the car is moving south, they have different velocities. The motorcycle has a velocity of 40 miles per hour north, while the car has a velocity of 40 miles per hour south.
So, the correct statement is: "The vehicles have the same speed, but different velocity."
