If an object's position remains constant as a function of time, what must be true about its acceleration and velocity?(1 point)

Question

Responses

Acceleration and velocity are both zero.
Acceleration and velocity are both zero.

Acceleration and velocity are both positive.
Acceleration and velocity are both positive.

Acceleration is positive and velocity is zero.
Acceleration is positive and velocity is zero.

Acceleration is zero and velocity is positive.

Answer 1

If an object's position remains constant as a function of time, this means that it is not moving. In such a case:

• The velocity (the rate of change of position) must be zero because the position does not change.
• The acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) must also be zero because the velocity remains constant at zero.

Therefore, the correct response is:

Acceleration and velocity are both zero.
