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.

The object does not move.

To accurately determine which statement is true based on the graph, I would need to see the graph showing the object's motion. However, I can help you interpret typical motion graphs.

  • If the graph is a position vs. time graph and the curve is getting steeper, it indicates increasing acceleration.
  • If the graph is a velocity vs. time graph and shows a curve that gets steeper, it also indicates increasing acceleration.
  • A straight line on a position vs. time graph indicates constant speed, while a straight line on a velocity vs. time graph indicates constant acceleration.
  • If the object is not moving, the position vs. time graph would be a horizontal line.

Without seeing the graph, I can't provide a definitive answer, but I hope this guidance helps you interpret your data! If you describe the graph, I can provide a more specific answer.
