Use the position-time graphs for object C and object D to answer the question.
The vertical axis is labeled position (m) with values 25 and 32 near the top. The horizontal axis is labeled time (s) and ranges from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The graph for object C is a concave up graph that slopes upward to the point (6, 32). The graph for object D is a dashed line that slopes upward from the origin to point (6, 25), intersecting the curve for object C.
Does either object have a constant velocity?
(1 point)
To determine if either object has a constant velocity, we need to examine the position-time graphs for object C and object D.
For object C, the graph is described as concave up and slopes upward to the point (6, 32). This indicates that the object is undergoing acceleration, as the slope of the graph (or the rate of change of position with respect to time) is increasing. Therefore, object C does not have a constant velocity.
For object D, the graph is described as a dashed line that slopes upward from the origin to point (6, 25), intersecting the curve for object C. The fact that object D intersects the graph for object C suggests that they are in the same frame of reference. However, the dashed line indicates that object D is not continuously moving at a constant rate. Instead, it experiences a change in velocity at each point where it intersects this graph. Therefore, object D also does not have a constant velocity.
In conclusion, neither object C nor object D has a constant velocity based on their respective position-time graphs.
