Which object has a constant velocity?
Object C has a curved line on the graph
Object D has a increased slope no curves
Options
A. Object C
B. Object D
C. Both objects have a constant velocity
D. Neither object has a constant velocity
B. Object D
The correct answer is D. Neither object has a constant velocity. Object C has a curved line on the graph, indicating that its velocity is changing over time. Object D has an increased slope without any curves, which means its velocity is increasing over time. Therefore, neither object has a constant velocity.
To determine which object has a constant velocity, we need to understand what constant velocity means. Constant velocity refers to an object moving at a steady speed in a straight line. This means that neither the speed nor the direction of motion should change over time.
From the given information, we can analyze the behavior of objects C and D on the graph.
Object C has a curved line on the graph, indicating a changing speed over time. The presence of curves suggests that the object is accelerating or decelerating, so it does not have a constant velocity. Therefore, we can eliminate option A (Object C).
Object D, on the other hand, has an increased slope with no curves. The increased slope indicates a constant increase in speed over time, which suggests that the object is accelerating. Since acceleration implies a change in velocity, Object D does not have constant velocity either. Therefore, we can eliminate option B (Object D).
Considering our analysis, neither Object C nor Object D exhibits constant velocity. Therefore, the correct answer is option D (Neither object has a constant velocity).
