(1 point)
Responses
The object accelerates at an increasing rate followed by a decreasing rate.
The object accelerates at an increasing rate followed by a decreasing rate.
The object does not move.
The object does not move.
The object accelerates at an increasing rate.
The object accelerates at an increasing rate.
The object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate.
The object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate.
To determine which statement is true based on the graph, we need to analyze the motion of the object. Looking at the graph, we see that the object starts at rest (position zero) and then accelerates at a constant rate for a certain period of time. After reaching a maximum velocity, the object then decelerates and comes to a stop at the end of the graph.
Therefore, the correct statement is: "The object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate."
To determine which statement is true based on the graph provided, you need to analyze the graph and observe the motion of the object.
The graph shows a line that starts at 0 and then increases with a positive slope. This indicates that the object is moving in a positive direction, meaning it is not at rest. The slope of the line tells us about the object's acceleration.
If the slope of the line is constant, it would indicate that the object is accelerating at a constant rate. However, in this case, the slope of the line is increasing, which means the object's acceleration is increasing. This rules out options such as "The object accelerates at a constant rate" and "The object accelerates at a decreasing rate".
After the slope reaches its maximum, it starts to decrease, which indicates that the object's acceleration is decreasing. Therefore, the statement "The object accelerates at an increasing rate followed by a decreasing rate" is true based on the graph shown.
So, the correct answer is: The object accelerates at an increasing rate followed by a decreasing rate.
