Its acceleration is 0 from 0 seconds to 60 seconds.
Its acceleration is 0 from 0 seconds to 60 seconds.

Its velocity is 0 after 60 seconds.
Its velocity is 0 after 60 seconds.

Its position is constant after 60 seconds.
Its position is constant after 60 seconds.

Its acceleration is positive from 0 seconds to 60 seconds.

Answer 1

To accurately determine which statement about the object represented in the velocity versus time graph is correct, we would need to analyze the shape and behavior of the graph within the given time intervals (0 seconds to 60 seconds). However, without the visual representation of the graph, here is a general way to evaluate the statements based on typical features of a velocity-time graph:

1. **Its acceleration is 0 from 0 seconds to 60 seconds.** - This is true if the line on the graph is horizontal (constant velocity) between those times.

2. **Its velocity is 0 after 60 seconds.** - This would be true if the line intersects the time axis (velocity = 0) at or after 60 seconds.

3. **Its position is constant after 60 seconds.** - If the velocity is 0 after that point, the object's position would not change.

4. **Its acceleration is positive from 0 seconds to 60 seconds.** - This is true if the slope of the graph is upward, indicating increasing velocity.

Choose the statement that matches the characteristics visible on the graph. If you do not have access to the graph now, here’s a tip:
- If the line is flat between 0 and 60 seconds, check the first statement.
- If the line is above the axis but flat after 60 seconds, check the third statement.
- If the line slopes upward, check the last statement.

Without the graph, I can't definitively state which response is correct, so please evaluate the graph based on these explanations.
