The graph cannot determine the object's velocity or acceleration, as it only shows the object's distance traveled over time.
To determine the correct statement, we need to analyze the graph. However, the graph is not provided in the question. Without the graph, it is not possible to accurately determine the object's velocity or acceleration over time. Therefore, we cannot determine which statement is true based on the information given.
To determine the answer to this question, we need to analyze the graph that shows the object's distance traveled over a period of time.
If the graph of distance-time is a straight line with a positive slope, it indicates that the object is moving at a constant velocity. This means that the object is covering the same amount of distance in equal intervals of time.
If the graph of distance-time is a curved line with a positive slope, it indicates that the object is accelerating. This means that the object is covering increasing amounts of distance in equal intervals of time, which implies that its velocity is increasing.
If the graph of distance-time is a straight line with a zero slope, it indicates that the object is not moving and has zero velocity.
If the graph of distance-time is a straight line with a constant positive slope, it indicates that the object is moving at a constant velocity. This means that the velocity is not changing and remains constant over time.
Based on the given options, the statement "The object’s velocity is increasing." is the correct answer since the graph shows a curved line with a positive slope, indicating that the object is accelerating and its velocity is increasing.
