Question

he graph below represents the relationship between the distance traveled and the time elapsed for an object in motion. Which of the following can be inferred from the graph? a The object is moving along a curved path. b The object is experiencing acceleration. c The object has a negative acceleration. d The object moves at a constant speed.

Answer 1

To answer this question, we need to analyze the shape of the graph.

If the graph is a straight line (with a positive slope), it means that the object is moving at a constant speed. This rules out option d.

If the graph is a curved line, it means that the object is changing its speed over time, indicating acceleration. This rules out options a and c.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
b) The object is experiencing acceleration.
