To determine which statement is true based on the graph of an object's motion, I would typically analyze the shape of the graph (acceleration vs. time or velocity vs. time) to see how the motion is changing. However, since I cannot see the graph, I can guide you on how to interpret it based on typical characteristics of motion graphs.
-
The object accelerates at an increasing rate - If the graph shows a curve that is getting steeper over time, it could imply increasing acceleration.
-
The object starts at rest and then accelerates at a constant rate - This is indicated by a straight line that has a positive slope in a velocity vs. time graph.
-
The object does not move - This would be indicated by a horizontal line along the time axis, showing that the position is constant over time.
-
The object accelerates at an increasing rate followed by a decreasing rate - This could be represented by a curve that first gets steeper (increasing acceleration) and then flattens out (decreasing acceleration).
To select the correct statement, you will need to look at the graph and see which description matches the behavior of the object as represented. If you can analyze the graph based on these points, you should be able to determine the true statement.
