Question

A velocity versus time line graph shows three lines. The vertical axis is labeled, velocity, and the horizontal axis is labeled, time. Line A moves to the right from a point on the vertical axis above the origin parallel to the horizontal axis. Line B slopes upward from the origin to the upper right corner. Line C moves to the right from a point on the vertical axis below the origin parallel to the horizontal axis.

Which quantity or quantities is/are increasing for the object represented by Line B?

(1 point)

Answer 1

For an object represented by Line B on the velocity versus time graph, the line slopes upward from the origin to the upper right corner. This indicates that the velocity is increasing over time.

1. Velocity: Since the line is sloping upward, the velocity is increasing.
2. Position: The position is also increasing because, when an object's velocity is positive (and increasing), it means the object is moving in the positive direction, thus increasing its position over time.
3. Acceleration: Since the line is a straight sloped line (linear), the acceleration can be considered constant and positive.

Based on this analysis, the correct response would be:

velocity, position, and acceleration
