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?

Answer 1

For the object represented by Line B in the velocity versus time graph, we analyze the line's characteristics:

1. Velocity: Since Line B slopes upward from the origin, it indicates that the velocity is increasing over time. This means that the object's speed is getting greater.

2. Acceleration: An upward slope in a velocity versus time graph indicates positive acceleration. Therefore, the object is accelerating as it moves.

3. Position: As velocity is increasing, the object is also moving forward, meaning that its position is also increasing over time.

Based on this analysis, the quantity or quantities that are increasing for the object represented by Line B are:

• Velocity
• Acceleration
• Position

Thus, the correct response is:

velocity, position, and acceleration.
