To accurately determine which statement is true regarding the object's movement based on the graph of distance over time, we need to analyze what the graph represents.

  • If the slope of the graph (distance over time) is increasing and becoming steeper, that indicates that the object's velocity is increasing.
  • If the slope is constant (a straight line), then the object's velocity is constant.
  • If the distance vs. time graph is curved (and the curve is getting steeper), it indicates that the object's acceleration is increasing.

Without seeing the graph, I can’t definitively say which statement is true. However, based on typical scenarios described:

  • If the graph shows an increasing slope (curving upwards), the correct statement would be "The object’s velocity is increasing."
  • If it shows a straight, diagonal line, the correct statement would be "The object’s velocity is constant."
  • If you observe a curve that grows steeper over time, that would indicate that "The object’s acceleration is increasing."

If you can provide more details or describe the graph, I could give a more precise answer.
