Answer 1

To determine which quantity or quantities are increasing for the object represented by Line B, we need to analyze the situation based on common physics concepts.

1. **Velocity** - This refers to the speed of the object in a specific direction. If the object is moving in the positive direction and the line shows an upward trend, then velocity is increasing.

2. **Position** - This refers to the object's location relative to a reference point. If the line indicates that the object is moving further away from that reference point over time, then position is increasing.

3. **Acceleration** - This measures the change in velocity over time. If the object is speeding up, then acceleration is positive and increasing.

Without seeing Line B, I can provide a general answer based on typical scenarios. However, in many cases:

- If the object's velocity is increasing (the slope of the position vs. time graph is becoming steeper), both velocity and position may be increasing.
- If the acceleration is constant and positive, then both position and velocity would be increasing, but acceleration itself would not be increasing; it would be constant.

Given this analysis, if the object represented by Line B shows an upward trend in both position and velocity, the correct response would likely be:

**velocity and position**

If additional details are provided, I could give a more specific answer based on the content of Line B.
