To accurately determine which statement is true based on the graph of the object's motion, it would be essential to see the graph itself. However, I can provide some guidance on what each statement implies:

  1. The object accelerates at an increasing rate followed by a decreasing rate: This would be indicated by a curve on a velocity vs. time graph that first gets steeper (increasing acceleration) and then less steep (decreasing acceleration).

  2. The object does not move: This would be represented by a horizontal line at zero on a distance vs. time graph, indicating no change in position.

  3. The object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate: This would be shown as a straight line (linear) on a velocity vs. time graph starting from zero, indicating constant acceleration.

  4. The object accelerates at an increasing rate: This would be depicted as a curve that continuously gets steeper on a velocity vs. time graph, suggesting that the object's speed is increasing more and more over time.

To choose the correct statement, please analyze the graph according to these descriptions. If you can provide the specific shape or features of the graph, I can help you choose the correct option!
