(1 point)
Responses
The object does not move.
The object does not move.
The object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate.
The object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate.
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 accelerates at an increasing rate.
The object accelerates at an increasing rate.
The statement "The object accelerates at an increasing rate followed by a decreasing rate" is true.
The correct statement is: The object accelerates at an increasing rate.
To determine which statement is true, we need to analyze the graph provided.
The graph shows an object's motion over time. The x-axis represents time, and the y-axis represents the object's position or displacement.
Looking at the graph, we can see that the object's position changes over time, which indicates that the object is moving. Therefore, we can eliminate the first option, "The object does not move."
Next, we observe the shape of the graph. From the starting point, the graph initially has a steep increase, indicating that the object is accelerating. This eliminates the third option, "The object accelerates at an increasing rate followed by a decreasing rate."
Based on the graph, it does not indicate that the acceleration is constant. Instead, as we can see from the increasing steepness of the graph, the object is accelerating at an increasing rate. Thus, the correct statement is "The object accelerates at an increasing rate."
