Question
Use the graph to answer the question.
A velocity versus time line graph shows three lines. The vertical axis is labeled, velocity, and the horizontal axis is labeled, time. Line A moves to the right from a point on the vertical axis above the origin parallel to the horizontal axis. Line B slopes upward from the origin to the upper right corner. Line C moves to the right from a point on the vertical axis below the origin parallel to the horizontal axis.
Which quantity or quantities is/are increasing for the object represented by Line B?

The quantity or quantities that are increasing for the object represented by Line B are velocity and acceleration.
To determine which quantity or quantities are increasing for the object represented by Line B, you need to understand the concepts of velocity, position, and acceleration.
Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time. It tells you how fast an object is moving and in which direction.
Position refers to the location of an object in space relative to a reference point. It tells you where the object is located at a specific time.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. It tells you how quickly an object's velocity is changing.
Looking at Line B on the graph, we can see that it slopes upward from the origin to the upper right corner. This means that the velocity of the object represented by Line B is increasing over time. Therefore, we can conclude that the velocity of the object is increasing.
However, the graph does not provide information about the object's position or acceleration. So, we cannot determine whether position or acceleration is increasing for the object represented by Line B.
Therefore, the correct answer is "velocity only."
